Project Gutenberg 2012-09-09 Public domain in the USA. 111 Masefield, John 1878 1967 The Story of a Round-House, and Other Poems Reading ease score: 85.1 (6th grade). Easy to read. Produced by Al Haines "The Story of a Round-House and Other Poems" by John Masefield is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. The opening poem, "Dauber," introduces the life of a young artist who is working aboard a ship, longing to capture the beauty of the sea and its vessels through painting. Themes of aspiration, struggle, and the harsh realities of life at sea are interwoven as the protagonist, referred to as Dauber, seeks to establish his identity both as an artist and as a sailor. At the start of the poem, we are introduced to Dauber, who is depicted as a youth of artistic ambition and vulnerability, feeling out of place among the hardened crew. He observes his surroundings with a keen eye, aiming to translate the vibrant and tumultuous seascape into art, yet faces ridicule from his fellow sailors. As he grapples with their disdain, Dauber's internal conflict deepens as he yearns for acceptance while clinging to his passion for art. The opening sets the stage for his emotional journey and foreshadows the challenges he will encounter as he navigates the world of seafaring and self-discovery.
