Who does not remember the immortal lines from childhood "Break, break break, On thy cold grey stones"? The seas and oceans have a mystical power over us: From a playful day at the beach to the hysterical waves of a storm, this ever-changing element evokes both beauty and fear; its great mass, its shimmering beauty, its raging howl and all in colours from blue to grey to green and crystal clear. In these collections of verse our poets - including Tennyson, Swinburne, Keats, Shelley, and many others - explore the relationship between ourselves and the great mystical waters.

This is a poetry collection by many different poets. Some I like and want to go back to and listen again, some leave no impression and some are not enjoyable. The lack of an index makes it impossible to choose, and it seems as if the collection is intended to be read as a novel, starting at the beginning and going to the end as I did.
This is a common feeling with Audible both for poetry collections and short story collections and substantially detracts from their value. I would not recommend this to anyone in its current format.

This is not a novel
