Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sea: And Other Poems

An obstinate attack of bronchitis and general debility rendered it necessary that I should seek a warmer climate. Debarred from the privilege of speaking, and forbidden to oc cupy my mind in much reading or study, I found the quiet hours passed in the preparation pleasant, and, I trust, profitable to my own mind.
