Livingston Lowes Phrasis Upon the Seashore Etc- Recited

UPON THE SEASHORE Off the blue Nantucket music of laguid hours,emerges from the labyrinth,delicate snail-horn perceptions of beauty, thronging this world of sensible things.Stirred by majesty,soft flowing surging impressions where sea meets sky.Infinite purples,fragments of rainbow gleam in the spindrift,sensuous lively,lovely,many-hued restless gossamer,abysm of time in a dancing throng,slow recurrent the rhythm of the sea,sifting the illusion upon a seashore. SOJOURN IN THE EXOTIC Penetrating imagination,restless intellect’s perverse ingenuity and worse, in imperishable lines eerily luminous corescate like brilliant pyrotechnics.A wind that blows aloof,ebbs and flows of the familiar and the strange. A picturesque protracted sojourn in the exotic,a periennial longing to be what we are not.The paradox reasserts itself and glamour fades.
