Still bent to make some port he knows not where,
Matthew Arnold, excerpt from A Summer Night (1852)
Still standing for some false impossible shore.
And sterner comes the roar
Of sea and wind; and through the deepening gloom
Fainter and fainter wreck and helmsman loom,
And he too disappears, and comes no more.
These photographs were taken on a walk with Murdo Eason in Leith on 13 July 2019, a million lifetimes ago.
