“be a lover like the sun
sunlit hands stretching over oceans
and i will be the flower that comes alive under your touch
i will be the ship that follows you across the very world”
Natalie York, a year in the life

John Flanagan
“Get rid of their mast, knock holes in the hull, then get back on board."
"You want us to sink her?" Gundar asked, and Halt shook his head.
"No. I want her badly damaged but capable of making it back to port. I want the word to go out that the strange ship with the red falcon ensign"—he gestured to Evanlyn's ensign, flying from the mast top—"is manned by dangerous, hairy maniacs with axes and is to be avoided at all costs."
"That sounds like us," Gundar said cheerfully.”
John Flanagan, The Emperor of Nihon-Ja
