Excerpt from The Flood of Thessaly: The Girl of Provence; And Other Poems

Excerpt from The Flood of Thessaly: The Girl of Provence; And Other Poems

The reader will consider the first Poem in this volume ("The Flood of Thessaly") as a sketch only of the great event which desolated the earlier world. Having abandoned my original intention of publishing a more elaborate Poem on this subject, I am only induced to mention the fact here, in order to account for the chasms which occur, in one or two instances, in the present production. - All reference to the Mosaic account of the Deluge has been purposely avoided.
