"Kept up by relays of generations young". "Jack Roy" by Herman Melville
https://www.public-domain-poetry.com/herman-melville
Enjoyed :)- Herman Melville: An Introduction - Wyn Kelley... https://vdoc.pub/documents/herman-me...e-5c73lph4b790Quote:
The poems, “John Marr,” “Bridegroom Dick,” “Tom Deadlight,” and “Jack Roy,” in different ways eulogize sailors and together form a group, a “chorus,” of voices from the past...
The sailors are associated with the rhythms of poetry, the music of their “chorus,” as well as the beating heart of friendship and fellowship. The succeeding sailor poems, “Bridegroom Dick,” “Tom Deadlight,” and “Jack Roy,” sound similar notes in mourning the bluff, often untutored, and dashing heroism of the men: “Heroic in thy levity wert thou, Jack Roy”
