in the book is "The Shrine of Proteus". [John] Stammers employs a vigorous use of long colloquial lines and a language that sweeps forward, austere and acerbic, full of gusto and poise--"I am wet with the sea. I am water soaked. I have salt in my veins." But unlike the sea god of Virgil's Georgics, this modern take on Proteus offers no hope of release, no possibility of expiation.from Charles Bainbridge: The Guardian: Interior Night by John Stammers
