Mariner, The by E. Pauline Johnson

The Mariner by E. Pauline Johnson tells the story of a skilled sailor navigating both the sea and life’s challenges. The mariner is portrayed as a lone figure, strong and brave, who endures the hardships of the ocean with a sense of determination. He faces nature’s might with resilience, but also with a deep connection to the sea. There’s a sense of melancholy in his journey, as he seems destined to live and die by the sea. Johnson’s poem captures both the beauty and the perils of maritime life, reflecting the mariner’s isolation, courage, and the inevitability of fate, as he remains bound to the ocean’s ever-changing moods. – Summary by Dream Audiobooks –
