Dedication: In Memoriam David Harrex (2.6.1929-31.12.2001)
Epigraph: O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being, Thou from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red... P. B. Shelley
Author note: [Poem's title is taken from the] title of a watercolour by David Harrex which was awarded the Australian American Association Maritime Art Prize, 1990.
