Flying Dutchman

Beauty and music are not mere traits and exceptions. They are the rule and character. It is the exception that we see and hear. - Thoreau

infinite windmill

rickety, old wooden shoes

never making port

Author's Note

"The sail, the play of its pulse so like our own lives: so thin and yet so full of life, so noiseless when it labors hardest, so noisy and impatient when least effective. Men go back to the mountains, as they go back to sailing ships at sea, because in the mountains and on the sea they must face up." - Thoreau

Reviews

[John the Baptist]

Well, ghost ships never do make port. If they did, I wonder how the longshoremen would react.

[Pete]

well, they would just go on strike like they always do.
