A Poem From Transatlantic
Stretch sea
Stretch away sea and land
We are following thee
Thy lead is dangerous
And glorius
Stretch thyself and us
And make us live
To mount the ladder of horizons
Until we step upon the radiant plateau.
Transatlantic [1933] was Toomer's last and most ambitious novel in which he attempted to give the most extensive treatment of his theme of human development
