This is something I've thought about on more than one occasion, especially
when I've been on the east coast of the big Island viewing the sea bashing
against lava cliffs. The thought of somehow miraculously surviving some
horrible shipwreck only to be blown ashore to some totally inaccessible
shore. Similar to surviving a plane crash at sea and knowing noone will ever
find you. Gotta love the Sea!

During this meditation a heavy surge
was taking him, in fact, straight on the rocks.
He had been flayed there, and his bones broken,
had not grey-eyed Athena instructed him:
he gripped a rock-ledge with both hands in passing
and held on, groaning, as the surge went by,
to keep clear of its breaking.
