7154 Epes Sargent 1813-1881 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7154
AUTHOR:Epes Sargent (1813–1881)
QUOTATION:A life on the ocean wave!
  A home on the rolling deep,
Where the scattered waters rave,
  And the winds their revels keep!
Like an eagle caged I pine
  On this dull unchanging shore:
Oh give me the flashing brine,
  The spray and the tempest’s roar!
