On the sea-shore Away becalmed at sea one day

I saw a babe, laughing kicking, &c &c

And as a swimmer passed floated idly in the waves, he called the child.—Laughing it sprang, and there

Five times she drives into it, and five times recoils and has to put back.—The sixth time she plunges far desperately on, the ice opens a crack as she advances, and so makes a chance for her just the very way she most wants to go.—

When a grand and melodious thought is taken told to men for the first time, in _^down and within their hearts _^they each one says in it down and within, That music! those large and exquisite passages! where have I heard them before?
