vg123e: At the beginning of this year I read again, ….delightful book by John Masefield, called The Box of Delights-A feature of this box was that it allowed one to travel swiftly, and to make oneself very small.
What my cousin rightly told..”go read the book”

Great poem by John Masefield. On mother's day there are many things to remember. My contribution is all the women killed or injured by childbearing. Without their sacrifice none of us would be here.

AnneMarie_Fyfe: Cave House, home of Nicholas De La Cherois Crommelin, on the shore to the left of Cushendun village & the bay-front houses, & only visible from the sea or the opposite cliffs. Perfect place for son-in-law John Masefield to observe 'Cargoes'. Masefield married Constance Crommelin.
John_Barach: I'm currently enjoying Conan Doyle's novel Micah Clarke, which reminds me of Robert Louis Stevenson (and John Masefield's Martin Hyde, which also deals with the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685).
But surprisingly, the novel is out of print, except for cheap self-published editions.

SantaKlausH: HOLD that when a person dies
His soul returns again to earth;
Arrayed in some new flesh-disguise
Another mother gives him birth.
With sturdier limbs and brighter brain
The old soul takes the road again.

WildWoodLane_: I must go down to the seas again,to the lonely sea and sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheels kick and the wind's song and the white sails shaking, And the grey mist on the sea's face, and the grey dawn breaking. John Masefield

John Masefield
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

RDGStout: (1) Tonight I finished reading John Masefield's 1935 children's fantasty novel The Box of Delights with my daughters. Where to begin?
First up, it comes highly recommend by folks whom I admire. The writing itself is just different enough—British and last century—to be charming.

MuseumofLondon: …A visitor book was kept to record their names for posterity.
Some of those names remain familiar to us today, such as the actress Sarah Bernhardt in 1881, Poet Laureate John Masefield in 1914, and members of the Royal Family such as Queen Mary in 1927.

RCMPNS: We understand the calling, and John Masefield wrote it best, “I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky.” In an instant, shorelines can turn from beautiful to deadly. If you’re visiting our shores, stay back from the water and off the black rocks.

I have that poem pinned to my profile here on the Twit!
An amazingly impactful one, for sure.

Rather the scorned—the rejected—the men hemmed in with the spears;
