Great Ships
He's reading to me now, on a blanket in the shade, and I am struggling against grief to enjoy it.
If you knew when you stepped onto it that the Titanic was going to sink, how would you spend the ride? Would you enjoy it? Or would you cry and waste those last good hours?
Fine brandy and dancing, music, making love--would savoring those last few days make it all the more bitter when you went down beneath the waves? Or would it make it all the more sweet?
