Question

What is the meaning of line "and the flung spray and the blown spume and the seagulls crying"

Answer 1

Answer:

These lines convey the poet's eagerness to go to the seas once again. These lines are borrowed from the poem, "Sea Fever" by John Masefield. The terms, 'flung spray', 'blown spume' and 'seagulls crying' are all related to it and conveys the sailor's urge to see the smoke emanating from the ship as it starts its journey and the birds that come at times on the ship. It is more of a type of cargo vessel which used to go on long journeys during earlier days.
