This piece of art was inspired by a poem called The Sea Wolf
by Violet McDougal
The fishermen say when your catch is done
and you're sculling in with the tide
You must take great care that the sea wolf's share
is tossed to him overside.
They say that the sea wolf rides by day
unseen by the crested waves
And the sea mists rise from his cold green eyes
When he comes from his sea salt caves
The fishermen say when it storms at night
and the great seas bellow and roar,
that the sea wolf rides on the plunging tides
And you hear his howl at the door.
And you must throw open your door
And fling your catch to the waves,
Till he drags his share to his cold sea lair
Straight down to his sea salt caves
Then the storm will pass and the still stars shine
In peace so the fishermen say
but the sea wolf waits by the cold sea gates
for the dawn of another day
