Pahina 179 - A LIFE on the ocean wave, A home on the rolling deep, Where the scattered waters rave, And the winds their revels keep! Pahina 265 - It is a witty, gay, poetical book, full of bright things and true things, the seer donning a jester's garb to preach in; and one may be sure, under the shrug and the smile, of the keen dart aimed at pride, prejudice, self-seeking, injustice, and the praise for whatsoever is beautiful and good."— Hartford Courant.
