      The sun on the calm sea sheddeth a golden glory . The rippling waves break whitely , The sands are level and the shingle bright , The green cliffs wear the pomp of Heaven ' s light , And sea-weeds idle lightly Over the rocks ; but ye appear not , Dreams of Story !

      Nymphs of the sea ! Faith ' s heart hath fled from ye , hath fled ; Ye are her boasted scorn ; Save to the poet ' s soul , the sculptor ' s thought , The painter ' s fancy , ye are now as nought : Mute is old Triton ' s horn , And with it half the voice of the Old World is dead .

      you will not know how balmy and delicious the scene and its circumstances are , unless you go some fifteen or twenty deg rees southward ; then you will find in them a taste of Elysium , if y our memory of other things do not fasten on and scathe your mind ; and even then you may be anodyned into forget fulness , and fancy and imagination will envelop your spirit in a mantle of creations , so vivid , rich , and soothing , so invigorating , and yet composing , that you will wish to dream on for ever : and , when you are aroused from the dream , the returning reality of bitterness will be soothed and softened by the yet lingering and mingling spiritual sweetness . Do not imagine that an excursion in one of your dandy-craft , not the best of the Clubs' yachts , however
