Great Regulars: [Jackie] Kay asks us if

we ever called back a lost word, like calling back the sea — and of course the sea will not come because it answers only to the pull of the Moon. The idea of the word is cast out on to the image of the ocean and into the vast space that the ocean occupies, and is lost.

from Frieda Hughes: The Times: Lost and gone for ever
