Can we trust him? I wouldn't have thought cunning or crafty...

This put me in mind of the poems from the Titanic's point of view in the novel in verse The Watch That Ends the Night: Voices from the Titanic, by Allan Wolf. The Titanic is more sly than the Fram, but I love the strong voice of both!laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-60193570406437300452014-09-26T10:56:01.344-04:002014-09-26T10:56:01.344-04:00Love this voice, Doraine - I hadn't thought of...Love this voice, Doraine - I hadn't thought of such a ship as "crafty" or "cunning" before, but now I do!
