Answers
Answer:
In the poem, Sea Fever written by John Masefield, he expresses his desire for sailing once again in the quite sea, under the quiet sky. He expresses his desire for the need of a well built ship to sail and a star in the dark sky to act as a guide. Soon the adventures would begun and as each day dawns, he wakes up to see the early grey mist rise from the sea.
In the poem, the poet expresses his strong desire to get back to the sea as the call from the sea cannot be ignored or denied. He wishes that there would be strong winds that would blow away the thick white clouds in the sky and take the sail forward throughout the day. Watching from the shore fills his heart with the adventure and spirit.
The last para explains that the poet would like to be a wandering gypsy , however he would miss the sea gulls and the white whales and most of all his time spent with his fellow men at the deck , listening to tales and good and silent sleep which drifts into a sweet dream.
This poem clearly shows how Masefield had enjoyed his days on the sea and he would like to have a part of it, even after he has left is far behind following his passions.
