The reader imagining they have been Transported away to places unseen Experiencing things dirty and clean Stuck in the mud with the African Queen Scoured from the sands by a wind so keen Washed by waters some clear, some saline. Mixed feelings of fear, feelings of joy The freezing cold of an Arctic convoy, Trembling at the villain’s devilish ploy, Moved by the love of a girl, a boy, The larrikin spirit of the tomboy, Sentiment invoked by Leo Tolstoy. Fiction, biography, history, truth Grist to the mill of the reader, forsooth.
