Fragmentary Verse Echoes Beyond the Shore
A night time fragmentary poem speaks of crossing a dark shore and a distant paradise. The speaker addresses the reader with broken lines and dream imagery, mentioning waves, a fabled shore, and a haunting refrain nevermore. Names and clear events are elusive in the damaged text.
The Tide and Its Mighty Ocean Wave
The article explains the tide as a combined sun and moon effect, noting spring and neap tides. It describes the tide as a two foot average wave circling the globe, causes a slight retardation of Earth's rotation, and varies along shores from Arklow to New York and Fundy. It cites Scott's Redgauntlet for a dramatic description and hints at a stubborn school topic about a mysterious feature of tides.
