Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketches of Life and Landscape
Such scope I covet - fitly to adore! Such scope, the import of my theme to scan P Ocean of Life! No swimmer finds a shore; Unfathomable mystery of Man! So vast, so various, whence, or whither, all Shrouded in secrecy as with a pall! Dread dissonance of earth! Each life a note Swelling the mighty uproar tempest high; Harmonious voices few, and too remote To temper the Wild clamor of the sky; O! For a plunge that ocean to explore!
