I required a long time to work up courage to fight for the serenity I had glimpsed in hot summer woods and in lovingly handled books...

Although written primarily in iambic meter, the meter in Sea Fever varies throughout the poem. The imagery in Sea Fever suggests an adventurous ocean that appeals to all five senses.
