Goethe once arrived at such a pitch of

the candle on table and sat still. In

THE ARMY OF THE SEA.

Far cut, FAR out close riding crest on crest,
The long, white legions glisten in the sun,
Endless and armed for instant strife they run
In monstIous phalanx, sweeping in abreast.
Far out, far out, where seethes the wild unrest,
What fearful glories have those foemen won,
What deeds Of blood have they in anger done
And shTieked upon the night wind unsuppressedi
And down, far down-why Crawls the conger -
Are staring eyes and shrunken lips that say
Poor, piteous protest to the whirlwind foe
That striking them, roared on fer further prey.
Oh, fleets and powers, what war won songs have ye
More dread than sing this army of the sea7
