The advertisement at the left was based on a poem by Emily Dickinson:
Adrift! A little boat adrift! And night is coming down! Will no one guide a little boat Unto the nearest town? So Sailors say — on yesterday -- Just as the dusk was brown One little boat gave up its strife And gurgled down and down. So angels say — on yesterday -- Just as the dawn was red One little boat — o'erspent with gales -- Retrimmed its masts — redecked its sails -- And shot — exultant on! |
