"pulling weapons behind them/Like travellers in their great/Concourse of empire." The poem then turns its attention to the sea and to the seals' heads emerging from below, the description rounded off with another striking comparison--"their faces/Appear above the water,/Surprisingly calm,//Affecting an unconcern/Like a diner looking round/For the wine waiter."from Charles Bainbridge: The Guardian: Pebble and I by John Fuller
