A familiar red-sky warning is repeated beneath the title Never Sinks In.

The title changes the recital into a comment on knowledge failing to take hold. The page itself offers no specific voyage or weather event.

Under the heading 'Never Sinks In', the page types out the sailors' proverb whole: 'Red sky at night / Sailors delight / Red sky in the morning / Sailors warning'.

The poem's only addition is its title, which turns a familiar warning into a comment on knowledge that is repeated but never absorbed.
