Context: p>As we go star-stilled in the mystic garden,
All the prose of this life run there to rhyme,
How eagerly then will the poor heart pardon
All of these hurts of Time!Ah, yes, in that hour of our souls dream-driven,
In that high, white hour, O my wild sea-bride,
The tears and the years will be all forgiven, …
And all be justified.</p
“It is now time for our nation to frustrate the wild dreams of the whites.”
Quoted in "Britons Beaten?" - Time Magazine - October 16, 1933

Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.”

The Forsaken Merman (1849)
Context: Come, dear children, let us away;
Down and away below.
Now my brothers call from the bay;
Now the great winds shoreward blow;
Now the salt tides seaward flow;
Now the wild white horses play,
Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.
Children dear, let us away.
This way, this way!
“[Wild] with a dream of wildness.”
"The Expensive Moment"
“It is in vain to dream of a wildness distant from ourselves.”
