He escaped to the sea on board the HMS Conway for two reasons, the first one being to train for a life at sea. His second reason was more unusual: to break his addiction to r...

Sea Fever | John Masefield
The poem was written by the well-renowned John Masefield. He is one of the great storytellers of English Poetry. The poem tends to urge whoever longs for the exotic sea life to go back and enjoy its joyous moments. My poetic narration is based on the English (British) form of Received Pronunciation RP in a seemingly natural & authentic way.
