Such sudden storm and drifts
We could see nothing, the boat
Fluttering in a net
Of reefs and crags…

Fishermen in Winter George Mackay Brown Such sudden storm and drifts We could see nothing, the boat Fluttering in a net Of reefs and crags. The islands, blind whales Blundered about us. We heard The surge and plunge And the keening, all around. Farm women had set stone lamps In the ledges that night. The village lamplighter, He had not thrown Over the village his glimmering net. The skipper glimpsed one star – Soon quenched – But it beckoned to A poor island with one croft. We moored Fulmar. We took Up to the croft door Two fish from the basket.
