description: |
  For the Garaths at Sorn, by the seas great and black,  
  As they waited for all of their wives to come back  
  And fired their surrs at the tumelant whales  
  From the grelleking ships with no wind in their sails,  
  The longest of days in all the long years  
  Was the wintry cold Festival of Fears.
