Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

The Seafarer

Let me speak, in truth, of my life,
tell of toilsome days of travel,
days suffering hardship,
bitterness of heart:
how I endured sorrowful times on ships,
on dreadful rolling seas.
Hard night's watch at the ship's prow
was by frequent task,
the ship often tossed along towering cliffs,
afflicted with cold feet, numbed by frost, chill bonds.
My sorrows burned in my heart,
I sighed forth hunger that rent my mind,
I, the sea-weary man.

He who fares so prosperously on land
knows not that I have spent great careworn winters
an exile on the ice-cold sea,
cut off from kin,
hung round with icicles,
hail pelting me in showers,
I heard nothing but the booming sea
and the cold billowing sea-waves.
Sometimes I heard the song of the swan,
seized gladness in the cry of the gannet
and the sound of the curlew, instead of
the laughter of men; in the screaming gull,
instead of the clanking mead-cups.

On the sea, storms beat against the rocky cliffs,
the icy-feathered tern echoed the storm-winds,
as, too, the wing-soaked eagle.
No protector could comfort the heart in need.
He who holds the bliss of life, proud-flushed with wine,
who suffers few hardships in cities, disbelieves
how often in weariness I had to dwell upon the ocean path.
The shadow of night grew dark,
snow flew in from the north,
fast bound the land,
hail, coldest of grains, falling upon the earth.


And yet my heart's thoughts are stirred
that I should make trial again of the high seas,
of the tossing salt waves.
My heart's desire exhorts me to venture forth again
and discover the land of strange peoples far hence.
Ah, there is no man on earth so proud,
so generous of gifts,
so bold in youth,
so daring in his deeds,
nor with a lord so gracious unto him,
that he is not always anxious about his seafaring,
as to what God will bestow upon him next.
His thoughts are not of the harp
nor of gift-rings,
nor of the pleasures of a woman,
nor of joy in the world,
nor of aught else but the rolling waves.

Yet he who would set out upon the sea-waters
ever feels longing.
The land puts forth blossoms,
the fields are fair,
the world revives --
but all these urge my eager heart to wandering asea,
proposing to fare far upon ocean paths.
The cuckoo warns with sad cry,
that harbinger of summer sings,
boding bitter sorrow to the heart.
But the man who does not understand,
the prosperous man,
knows not that those endure
who must widely pace the paths of exile.

My heart is restless within me,
my mind is dwelling on the sea-flood,
over the whale's domain.
My mind fares widely over the face of the earth,
but returns unsatisfied.
The lone-flier screams, urging my heart
to the whale-way over the stretch of seas.
For the joys of the Lord are more inspiring
than this dead fleeting life on earth.
I have no trust that earthly riches
will abide forever.
Three things are bound to visit the doomed and dying,
certain to take life away:
illness, age, or violence.
Left only, then, is the praise of the living who speak
after the dead are gone.
Such is the best of fame after death,
that one should strive before he must depart,
work bold deeds while on earth,
against the malice of demons, against the devil,
so that the children of men may later exalt him,
that his praise live thereafter
among the angels, joy of eternal light.

The days have departed.
The pomps of earth's kingdom:
kings, emperors, givers of gold,
and not as of yore,
when men wrought great deeds of glory,
and lived in most lordly splendor.
This host has fallen;
their delights have departed;
only the weak live on,
possessing this world only in toil.
Glory is laid low,
the noblest of earth age and wither,
as does every man throughout the world.
Old age befalls him,
his face grows pale,
gray-haired he laments.
He knows that his old friends, sons of princes,
have been laid in the earth.
And when life departs him, too,
his body will neither taste sweetness,
nor feel pain, nor stir a hand,
nor ponder in thought.
Though his grave by kin be strewn with gold,
buried with various treasures beside him,
none of this will go with him.
And what gold he hoarded in life
gives no succor in the face of God's wrath.

Great is the fear of God, whereby the earth turns.
He established the mighty plains,
the face of the earth, and the sky above.
Foolish is he who does not fear this power.
Death comes to him unexpectedly.
Blessed is he who lives humbly,
mercy comes to him from above.
God establishes that heart in him
because he trusts in God's strength.

Check a violent mind,
control it with firmness,
be trustworthy to others,
pure in the ways of life.
Let each show moderation,
through the good and through the adverse.
Fate is strong,
but God is mightier than any man's thoughts.
Consider where we may possess a home, and
think on how we may come to that place, and
strive to attain it: eternal bliss,
where life springs from God's love,
joy in heaven.

Thanks be to the Holy One, he who has made us worthy, for he is the Prince of glory, the Lord everlasting, forever and ever. Amen.

It seems I've landed in the middle of a civil war of sorts and some have taken to believing I'm somebody from their past.

I will address this once, and once only.
I happened upon this community and joined it.
If you think I remind you of another, that's on you.

I'll continue to post in a way which is reflective of my personality (if you don't hound me away first) and hopefully in time you all can see that I'm just Tally.

As I said, that's on you. If you met a guy/girl who reminds you of an ex boy/girlfriend, the new person is hardly to blame, right?

Anyway, get to know me and you'll see, I'm Tally.
