on the sea-shore; and the daily kiss of
the breakers round her, yielding form, a
constant association with that grandest
and most beautiful of all motions, the
willing undulation of the. sea, has oc-
casioned this flowing beauty of her
movement on the promenade, which
even Grecian bends cannot crook into
