“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
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)

—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“All the courses of my life do show
I am not in the roll of common men.”

The headstones yield their names to the element,
The wind whirrs without recollection....”
