Quote: Gerald Gould ...
Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea,
And East and West the wander-thirst that will not let me be;
It works in me like madness, dear, to bid me say good-by;
For the seas call and the stars call, and oh ! the call of the sky!
from "Wander-thirst," published in Lyrics, 1906
