Answer 2

When the poet was a student years ago, he had a teacher who used to tell his students of his dreams. His dream was to sail to places that he had heard only in maps. The teacher was a poor man and he could never sail to his dream places – he died unexpectedly. After the teacher’s death, the poet went to those places that the teacher longed to visit.

And sail across a warm blue sea
To places he had only known from maps,
