The Unknown Sea
by Clemence Housman
Publisher: Duckworth and co. 1898
ISBN/ASIN: B0046A9O2K
Number of pages: 315
Description:
An uncertain path promised fairly till half way, where a recent lapse turned him aside on to untried slopes and ledges: a perilous ascent to any not bold and sure and practised. The spice of danger kindled the boy's blood; he won to the top with some loss of breath, but his head was high, and his heart was high, and ultimate failure envisaged him no longer. He stood among graves.
