Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

With silver claws and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.”

“Why wont they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, cant they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum.
