Synopsis

Striking vignettes and mythic sketches fuse science and spirit in a voyage of the mind. This collection blends lyrical prayers, maritime scenes, and legend-driven narratives to probe courage, faith, and human invention. Rich with vivid imagery and character-driven moments, it invites readers to glimpse how imagination reshapes reality.

From lighthouse scenes that map fog, light, and danger at sea to parables about gods, singers, and travelers, the book moves through mythic episodes and moral questions with a poet’s cadence and a storyteller’s ear. Its world feels both ancient and immediate, offering passages that linger long after they’re read.

- Glowing depictions of lamps, ships, and fog that illuminate human risk and resilience
- Allegorical tales about gods, fate, and the power of art to transform pain
- Character-driven vignettes set on thresholds between danger and grace
- A blend of narrative heft and lyrical, symbolic moments that reward rereading

Ideal for readers who enjoy mythic poetry, reflective fiction, and prose that asks big questions through intimate scenes. This edition is a doorway to a sunken sea of invention where language and imagination chart new directions.

Présentation de l'éditeur

THE DISTURBER OF TRAFFIC.
Prom the wheel and the drift of Things
Deliver us, good Lord, And we will meet the wrath of kings,
The faggot, and the sword.
Lay not Thy toil before our eyes,
Nor vex us with Thy wars, Lest we should feel the straining skies
O'ertrod by trampliDg stars.
A veil 'twixt us and Thee, dread Lord,
A veil 'twixt us and Thee: Lest we should hear too clear, too clear,
And unto madness see! Miriam Cohen.
The Brothers of the Trinity order that none unconnected with their service shall be found in or on one of their Lights during the hours of darkness; but their servants can be led to think otherwise. If you are fair-spoken and take an interest in their duties, they will allow you to sit with them through the long night and help to scare the ships into mid-channel.
Of the English south-coast Lights, that of St. Cecilia-under-the-Cliff is the most powerful, for it guards a very foggy coast. When the sea-mist
