A bookmark featuring extracts from John Masefield's poem "Sea Fever" with a different set of lines on each of the two sides above grey stormy seas photographed on a windy morning in the Maharees in Co. Kerry where the sea was hurling itself up towards the dunes and the seabirds were scattering before them (probably not the best time to head out in a ship).
"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
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."
One double-sided bookmark. The bookmark measures 5.5 x 21cm (approx 2.16 x 8.26 inches).
Printed on 350gsm card paper with a matte finish.
