  • on Cargoes by John Masefield, on September 11, 2006

    A bull's eye

    It's not surprising to find that millions of people know this one by heart. It presents three vivid, exciting pictures, and makes a succint point about the metalbashing industry of the 1920s: it was dirty, it was mundane, but it brought untold wealth, like the cargoes of history and story. I wonder how Masefield would have tackled a fourth stanza on the service-led boom of the 2000s!
