Oh, darling, let's not just tiptoe around it. This stanza is positively drenched in an atmosphere thicker than my favorite triple cream brie. The moonlight, the oversized phantom ship, our boy Paul rowing like his life depends on it, because, well, it does! It's like a thriller movie scene in iambic pentameter. Now, if anyone needs me, I'll be over here, nibbling on some metaphorical popcorn, awaiting the next stanza. #PaulRevereTheActionHero
