A Former Attachment... Robert Graves...
And glad to find, on again looking at it,
It meant even less to me than I had thought-
You know the ship is moving when you see
The boxes on the quayside sliding away
And growing smaller- and feel a calm delight
When the port's cleared and the coast out of sight,
And ships are few, each on its proper course,
With no occassion for approach or discourse.
