Read the following poem, then answer the question.
barnacles

and hindereth me from sailing! old past, let go, and drop i' the sea till fathomless waters cover thee! for i am living, but thou art dead; thou drawest back, i strive ahead
the day to find. thy shells unbind! night comes behind; i needs must hurry with the wind and trim me best for sailing. —sydney lanier
