BREAKING BILLOWS AT SORRENTO by WILLIAM SHARP

First Line: A SKY OF WHIRLING FLAKES OF FOAM
Last Line: IN THUNDER THE SEA'S BOUNDLESS MIGHT.
Subject(s): AUSTRALIA; SEA; SKY; OCEAN;

A sky of whirling flakes of foam;
A rushing world of dazzling blue
One moment, the sky looms in view --
The next, a crash in its curved dome,
A tumult indescribable;
And eyes dazed with the miracle.
Here breaks by circling day and night
In thunder the sea's boundless might.
