The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the light was spoken.

It’s every man (person) for himself.
If you haven’t noticed yet, yes you are an island, in the middle of a sea of chaos and crime.
-but there’s a downside…
I don’t understand your comment, Ghostsniper. I thought he did a very creditable impression of a wildebeest. What’s all this about islands, etc.?
