An Open Boat

by Alfred Noyes



O, what is that whimpering there in the darkness?



'Let him lie in my arms. He is breathing, I know.

Look. I'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – The sea's rising,

The boat must be lightened. He's dead. He must go.'



See - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,

The cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,

And the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover

And wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.



'Come, lady, he's dead.' - 'No, I feel his heart beating,

He's living, I know. But he's numbed with the cold.

See, I'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' - -

'No. We can't keep the dead, dear. Come, loosen your hold.



'Come. Loosen your fingers.' - 'O God, let me keep him!' -



O, hide it, black night! Let the winds have their way!

And there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,

To fret the bare seas at the breaking of day.

Read this quote from Zimmermann in The Code Book.


In the past, if the government wanted to violate the privacy of ordinary citizens, it had to expend a certain amount of effort to intercept and steam open and read paper mail, or listen to and possibly transcribe spoken telephone conversations. This is analogous to catching fish with a hook and a line, one fish at a time. Fortunately for freedom and democracy, this kind of labor-intensive monitoring is not practical on a large scale. Today, electronic mail is gradually replacing conventional paper mail, and is soon to be the norm for everyone, not the novelty it is today. Unlike paper mail, e-mail messages are just too easy to intercept and scan for interesting keywords. This can be done easily, routinely, automatically, and undetectably on a grand scale. This is analogous to driftnet fishing—making a quantitative and qualitative Orwellian difference to the health of democracy.


What is the purpose of the quote from Zimmermann?


It explains how much faster e-mail travels than ordinary mail.

It shows how easily digital mail can be monitored by outsiders.

It states exactly how many people use e-mail instead of regular mail.

It proves that e-mail is better for the health of democracy than regular mail.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

Sugar is different from honey. It offers a stronger sweet flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. In the Age of Sugar, Europeans bought a product made thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from down the road. That was possible only because sugar set people in motion all across the world—millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. A perfect taste made possible by the most brutal labor: That is the dark story of sugar.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

Sugar is a taste we all want, a taste we all crave. People throughout the planet everywhere have been willing to do anything, anything at all, to get that touch of sweetness. We even know exactly how thrilling it was to taste sugar for the first time. When the Lewis and Clark Expedition met up with the Shoshone, who had little previous contact with Old World products, Sacagawea gave a tiny piece of sugar to a chief. He loved it, saying it was "the best thing he had ever tasted." Sugar created a hunger, a need, which swept from one corner of the world to another, bringing the most terrible misery and destruction, but then, too, the most inspiring ideas of liberty.

Sugar changed the world.

We begin that story with a man who could never know enough.

The year is 326 B.C. Alexander the Great stands at the Indus River in what is now Pakistan. For a decade he and his Greek soldiers have been battling their way across the known world, defeating even the mighty Persians, rulers of Asia. Alexander's string of victories only feeds his hunger to conquer all, to know all. But his men balk. Tired of fighting, homesick, they refuse to go on. Alexander realizes he cannot continue to conquer Asia, but he is too curious to stop exploring. He has already built a fleet of eight hundred ships, appointed his close friend Nearchus captain, and sent them to investigate the coast of lndia by sea.
