Explore "The Coast of Bohemia" by Thomas Nelson Page on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There is a land not charted on all charts; / Though many mariners have touched its coast, / Who far adventuring in those distant parts, / Meet ship-wreck there and are forever lost; / Or if they e'er return, are soon once more / Borne far away by hunger for that magic shore.
Its mystic mountains on the horizon piled, / Some mariners have glimpsed when driven far / Out of life's measured course by tempests wild, / Or lured therefrom by the erratic star / They chose as pilot, till their errant guide / Drew them resistlessly within its witching tide.
