'</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They parted then at the quay, each walked<br>Some way, then stood in the glow, <br>Of a dimly lit street standard<br>Lighting the sombre street below, <br>Then a woman walked up to the sailor, <br>Gave him kisses, long and deep, <br>While the man in the cheap and shoddy suit<br>Went pale, and began to weep! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">22 August 2012</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=David+Lewis+Paget">David Lewis Paget</a><div class=q>
