Chapter 53 No.53

The Lotos-Eaters

[These forty lines formed the conclusion to the original (1833) version of the poem. When the poem was reprinted in the 1842 volumes these lines were suppressed.]

We have had enough of motion,

Weariness and wild alarm,

Tossing on the tossing ocean,

Where the tuskèd seahorse walloweth

In a stripe of grassgreen calm
