“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.

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)

lost to the world bearing what they cannot hold. Broken,
beaten, desolate, reaching from the dead to be taken up

in waves still as the skillful yachts pass over.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
