From the elemental contrast of "The Sea and the Hills" to the martial force of "The Bell Buoy," "Cruisers," and "The Destroyers," Kipling turns the ocean into a living realm of vigilance, danger, and predatory energy. Other poems widen the scope to inheritance and civic duty: "The Dykes" laments complacency before disaster, "The Second Voyage" a...
