<h2> THE CHART </h2>
<p>Then came in further years the virgin sight<br/>
Of the live sea; the sea that marches down,<br/>
With sunny phalanxes and flags of foam,<br/>
To match its puissance with earth’s awful might.<br/>
<br/>
Far off the purple mist drew into mist,<br/>
As thought melts into endless thought, and round<br/>
The rim of the sheer world was heard a sound,<br/>
Floating through palpitating amethyst.<br/>
<br/>
And through the varying waste of elements<br/>
There passed a sail, which caught the opposing wind,<br/>
Triumphant, as an army in its tents<br/>
<br/>
Beholds the foe it, conquering, left behind.<br/>
“And Life,” I said,—“Life is but like the sea;<br/>
And what shall guide us to our destiny?”<br/></p>
