 The Wreck of the Hesperus' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
from YouTube :: Tag // storm
May 03, 2008
The Wreck of the Hesperus by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow read by Sean Barrett It was the schooner Hesperus, That sailed the wintry sea; And the skipper had taken his little daughter, To bear him company. Blue were her eyes as the fairy-flax, Her cheeks like the dawn of day, And her bosom white as the hawthorn buds, That ope in the month of May. The skipper he stood beside the helm, His pipe was in his mouth, And he watched how the veering flaw did blow The smoke now West, now South. Then up and spake an old Sailor, Had sailed to the Spanish Main, "I pray thee, put into yonder port, For I fear a hurricane. "Last night, the moon had a golden ring, And to-night no moon we see!" The skipper, he blew a whiff from his pipe, And a scornful laugh laughed he. Colder and louder blew the wind, A gale from the Northeast, The snow fell hissing in the brine, And the billows frothed like yeast. Down came the storm, and smote amain The vessel in its strength; She shuddered and paused, like a frighted steed, Then leaped her cable's length. "Come hither! come hither! my little daughter, And do not tremble so; For I can weather the roughest gale That ever wind did blow." He wrapped her warm in his seaman's coat Against the stinging blast; He cut a rope from a broken spar, And bound her to the mast. "O father! I hear the church-bells ring, Oh say, what may it be?" "'T is a fog-bell on a rock-bound coast!" -- And he steered for the open sea. "O father! I hear the sound of guns, Oh say, what may it be?" "Some ship in distress, that cannot live In such an angry sea!" "O father! I see a gleaming light, Oh say, what may it be?" But the father answered never a word, A frozen corpse was he. Lashed to the helm, all stiff and stark, With his face turned to the skies, The lantern gleamed through the gleaming snow On his fixed and glassy eyes. Then the maiden clasped her hands and prayed That savèd she might be; And she thought of Christ, who stilled the wave On the Lake of Galilee. And fast through the midnight dark and drear, Through the whistling sleet and snow, Like a sheeted ghost, the vessel swept Tow'rds the reef of Norman's Woe. And ever the fitful gusts between A sound came from the land; It was the sound of the trampling surf On the rocks and the hard sea-sand. The breakers were right beneath her bows, She drifted a dreary wreck, And a whooping billow swept the crew Like icicles from her deck. She struck where the white and fleecy waves Looked soft as carded wool, But the cruel rocks, they gored her side Like the horns of an angry bull. Her rattling shrouds, all sheathed in ice, With the masts went by the board; Like a vessel of glass, she stove and sank, Ho! ho! the breakers roared! At daybreak, on the bleak sea-beach, A fisherman stood aghast, To see the form of a maiden fair, Lashed close to a drifting mast. The salt sea was frozen on her breast, The salt tears in her eyes; And he saw her hair, like the brown sea-weed, On the billows fall and rise. Such was the wreck of the Hesperus, In the midnight and the snow! Christ save us all from a death like this, On the reef of Norman's Woe!

What has been accomplished?KUOW's Marcie Sillman has created a series exploring the creeks in our midst.

 Citizens and Our Streams
from KUOW News
September 07, 2007
Across the street from Northgate Mall, a major construction project is paving the way for Seattle's largest stream. As a result of ten years of citizen advocacy, Thornton Creek will flow above ground for the first time since I-5 was built. Citizen volunteers across Seattle have fought legal battles over creeks, they've spent hours cleaning them and restoring habitat, and they've pushed officials to enforce environmental laws. That work has been critical for the creeks, but experts say every effort to preserve and protect urban waterways is a step in the right direction, as KUOW's Marcie Sillman reports in the final story in her series, Our Big Backyard.

Restoration Work
from KUOW News
September 06, 2007
In 1999, to commemorate the coming of a new century, Seattle created its Millenium Project. Former Mayor Paul Schell wanted to leave a public legacy, and he wanted it to include the city's wild places. Part of the goal was to preserve the natural environment, another was to restore habitat for wild salmon and other fauna. The Urban Creek Legacy Project, part of the overall Millennium Project, focused one four of Seattle's major watersheds as centers for this preservation and restoration work. The city spent millions ... was it worth it? KUOW's Marcie Sillman tries to answer that question in the third part of her series Our Big Backyard.

The Impact of Humans
from KUOW News
September 05, 2007
There are people who tell tales about the time with Seattle's creeks were so thick with salmon, you could walk across their backs from one bank of the creek to the other. Fish still live in most of Seattle's urban waterways. But by the early 21st century, some fish are dying before they can spawn. Pollution has fouled the waters; culverts and other human development block the fish from reaching their spawning grounds. And every time in rains here in Rain City, a cocktail of toxic chemicals runs into the creeks with the storm water flow. In the second part of her series, Our Big Backyard , KUOW's Marcie Sillman looks at the impact of urbanization of Seattle's urban creeks.

The Romance and Inspiration of Nature
from KUOW News
September 04, 2007
Henry David Thoreau wrote: I believe there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright. Thoreau didn't spend his days in a major metropolis like Seattle, but if he did, chances are he would have sought refuge on the banks of one of this city's urban creeks. In every corner of Seattle you can find places where the water runs free and nature has held its ground. What power do these urban streams hold to provide places of solace, inspiration, and restfulness? KUOW's Marcie Sillman explores the magic of Seattle's urban creeks.
