There's real poetry in a bit like that; it sets one a thinking over the desolation of those whose life is little better than a voyage on such a sea!
"The Martins Of Cro' Martin, Vol. II (of II)"
Charles James Lever
It is not for us to say where sorrow eat deepest, or in which heart the desolation was most complete.
"The Martins Of Cro' Martin, Vol. II (of II)"
Charles James Lever
It was indeed pitiful, this slow, painful ending, in desolation and loneliness, of a life that should have closed in dignity and peace.
"The Locusts' Years"
Mary Helen Fee
