Barnacles1by Sidney LanierMy soul is sailing through the sea,But the Past is heavy and hindereth me.The Past hath crusted cumbrous shellsThat hold the flesh of cold sea-mells5 About my soul.The huge waves wash, the high waves roll,Each barnacle clingeth and worketh doleAnd hindereth me from sailing!Old Past, let go, and drop i' the sea10 Till fathomless waters cover thee!For I am living, but thou art dead;Thou drawest back, I strive aheadThe Day to find.Thy shells unbind! Night comes behind;15 I needs must hurry with the windAnd trim me best for sailing.________________________________________________1. small shellfish that attach themselves to ships and rocks10Select the correct answer.Which sentence best expresses a theme of “Barnacles”?
