There’s a question poised, unanswered, deep in human hearts today; it lingers still to contemplate, regardless what we say. Just why had God allowed this? Well, the answers, two they be; one rests secure in heaven, while one lies beneath the sea…
Most men of weight and substance, should they probe the thing at all, they realize pride’s appointed to precede a dreadful fall; no human is invincible, though some had let it slip, …“not even God himself could ever sink the mighty ship.”
There is quite possibly no other historical event in the last century as compelling and ironic as the tragic tale of the proud sailing and ultimate sinking of the RMS Titanic. In April of 1912, she departed in glory, and never returned. She became known as The Ship of Dreams, and was thought by many to be virtually “unsinkable”…yet,
“In the century’s adventures o’er the vast mysterious deep,
the Titanic had a dreadful date with destiny to keep...”
The author has faithfully researched much of the available history, and committed the entire journey and demise of that great ship to classic, and easily readable verse. Without question, she, and her historic voyage are worthy of such an epic, literary remembrance . Rich imagery and tragic irony are the themes of this classic narrative.
“…greatest maritime disaster in all peace-time history...
she descended two-and-one-half miles to the bottom of the sea.”
