Chapter_321

The seventh day, and no wind⁠—the burning sun

Blistered and scorched, and, stagnant on the sea,

They lay like carcasses; and hope was none,

Save in the breeze that came not: savagely

They glared upon each other⁠—all was done,

Water, and wine, and food⁠—and you might see

The longings of the cannibal arise

(Although they spoke not) in their wolfish eyes.
