HERE ARE SOME CHOICE QUOTES FROM THE POEM. THERE ARE LINKS TO SOME OF MY COMIC VERSIONS OF THE TEXT.
AND NOW THE STORM BLAST CAME, AND HE WAS TYRANNOUS AND STRONG! HE STRUCK WITH HIS O'ERTAKING WINGS, AND CHASED US SOUTH ALONG! WITH SLOPING MASTS AND DIPPING PROW, AS WHO PURSUED WITH YELL AND BLOW STILL TREADS THE SHADOW OF HIS FOE, AND FORWARD BENDS HIS HEAD- THE SHIP DROVE FAST...LOUD ROARED THE BLAST, AND SOUTHWARD AYE WE FLED!
IN MIST OR CLOUD, ON MAST OR SHROUD, IT PERCHED FOR VESPERS NINE
WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE AND ALL THE BOARDS DID SHRINK, WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE NOR ANY DROP TO DRINK!
THE COLD SWEAT MELTED FROM THEIR LIMBS, NOR ROT NOR REEK DID THEY: THE LOOK WITH WHICH THEY LOOKED ON ME HAD NEVER PASSED AWAY! AN ORPHAN'S CURSE WOULD DRAG TO HELL A SPIRIT FROM ON HIGH- BUT OH! MORE HORRIBLE THAN THAT IS THE CURSE IN A DEAD MAN'S EYE!
BUT SOON THERE BREATHED A WIND ON ME, NOR SOUND NOR MOTION MADE... ITS PATH WAS NOT UPON THE SEA, IN RIPPLE OR IN SHADE. IT RAISED MY HAIR, IT FANNED MY CHEEK LIKE A MEADOW-GALE OF SPRING... IT MINGLED STRANGELY WITH MY FEARS, YET IT FELT LIKE A WELCOMING!
I PASS LIKE NIGHT FROM LAND TO LAND... I HAVE STRANGE POWER OF SPEECH. THAT MOMENT THAT HIS FACE I SEE, I KNOW THE MAN THAT MUST HEAR ME... TO HIM MY TALE I TEACH!
