I never read #TheSeaWolf, much to the chagrin of the men in my family. I can see now why the liked it. Lucifer as the captain of a ship of damned souls, the chief tormentor further tormenting the tormented. A Miltonian morality drama cloaked in maritime adventure. #TCMParty

“It is like yeast, a ferment, a thing that moves and may move for a minute, an hour, a year, or a hundred years, but that in the end will cease to move.
