Long Trip | A poem by Langston Hughes, 1926
Joaquín Sorolla, Boys in the sea, 1908
The sea is a wilderness of waves,
A desert of water.
We dip and dive,
Rise and roll,
Hide and are hidden
On the sea.
Day, night,
Night, day,
The sea is a desert of waves,
A wilderness of water.
Langston Hughes, Long Trip, 1926
