So without further delay lets get onto some lighthouse lyrics. In Act II of Titanic, Ben Jonson’s character sits at the edge of the harbour with a sail of eider down upon the calm blue sea. As the waves rise he exclaims “Oh my God, what a fine day, to have such a fine breeze! My only wish is to see the sailors come…” and he looks up into the sea, “O how lovely the view, how pretty the girls sailing above, it makes me wish I were on board and sailing right now!” And he singes with his teeth.

Then we have the opening lines of The Star-Spangled Banner, written just for him – “All along the shore, The banners have been flying o’er the beach, With words that said I am sailing on no coast…” and he looks up into the sea again and says “…and all along the shore, The banners have been flying o’er the beach…” and the song starts. This was done around the same time that John Donne wrote these wonderful sea stories called The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. He too was a believer in the literal truth of heaven’s warning and often went to great trouble just to make sure that no ship going to a specific destination would meet with an accident or even get away from the main cruise. This includes the time that Donne’s son went missing while sailing on a schooner from Scotland to England, and his letter writing to the British navy requesting help was returned after over a year.
