Come on, my little heater and throw your tinder into your cauldron so that your fires will be made. Load a rasket*, oh, and a crowbar to the Bay* so that the waters will pass and into Cardiff* so that I can go and hang out there. But fire is fire but fire is a scythe and the sea has made my insides black. stock*: the boiler room of a ship. rasket*: a tool (a type of scraper or scraper) with which they used to remove the coal that had to be thrown into the boiler of a steamship. Bay*: The Bay of Biscay is written, on the maps of the English Admiralty, as Biscaya Bay and in Greek it is rendered as (the) Bay. Cardiff*: found in older Greek bibliography as Cardiff, is the largest city and capital of Wales. It is said that Batis was inspired by the stories of his son-in-law who worked on ocean-going steamships.
