Classic Ealing comedy starring Alec Guinness. Captain Ambrose
(Guinness) has a problem - a serious problem. Despite being

ship because of chronic seasickness. At the end of the war, he
decides to quit the waves and take a shore command. Buying the
amusement arcade on the pier at Sandcastle-On-Sea, he looks for a
calm life. But even on shore, he finds the waters rough. Opposition
comes in the form of the local town council, which decides that all
forms of gambling should be banned. From then on, Captain Ambrose
faces stormy seas and all is definitely not plain sailing.

CHAPTER II. EDMUND SPENSER; GILES AND PHINEAS FLETCHER. AMONG the
mystical poets of the English Church place must be found for EDMUND
SPENSER, not as the writer of The Faerie Queene, but as the
hymnodist of Heavenly Love and Beauty. The Paerie Queene is an
allegory, which we read for the noble ethical qualities there
personified with an unfailing opulence of music and colour. But
allegory and personification are not mysticism: they are not,
strictly speaking, Platonism, and it is as a Platonic idealist that
Spenser must be considered here. The Renaissance had, as its most
important result, the re-introduction of Plato to the intellectual
world, and Spenser was the first of our poets to expound that
philosopher's views on Love and Beauty.1 Platonic Idealism, though
not in a strict sense mysticism, is closely akin to it; indeed, Dr.
Inge has told us that Plato is " the father of European mysticism."
Platonism may be described briefly as the love of the invisible and
eternal inspired, sustained, and heightened by contemplating the
beauty of the visible and the temporal. The locus classicus of the
doctrine of Platonic love is the passage in the Symposium (203A,
seq in which the Man- tinean prophetess is represented as
explaining the origin and meaning of Love. It is there urged that "
the right procedure in the matter of Love is to begin with earthly
beautiesand to ascend towards that which is Beauty itself, using
the former as steps, and from the love of one form to go on to that
of two, from two to all beautiful forms, from beautiful forms to
beautiful practices, from beautiful practices to beautiful notions,
until from beautiful notions the notion of Absolute Beauty is
reached, in the knowledge and contemplation of which final
satisfaction may be found ." 1 Some of the ...
