Sailors' Home. Furled Outrigger Fishing Boats, Mangsit Beach, Mangsit, Lombok, Indonesia
Of course A.E. Housman (1859-1936) occured to me:
Home Is the Sailor
Home is the sailor, home from sea:
Her far-borne canvas furled
The ship pours shining on the quay
The plunder of the world.
Home is the hunter from the hill:
Fast in the boundless snare
All flesh lies taken at his will
And every fowl of air.
'Tis evening on the moorland free,
The starlit wave is still:
Home is the sailor from the sea,
The hunter from the hill.
