The
master
is
a
person
of
an
excellent
disposition
and
is
remarkable
in
the
ship
for
his
gentleness
and
the
mildness
of
his
discipline
.
This
circumstance
,
added
to
his
well-known
integrity
and
dauntless
courage
,
made
me
very
desirous
to
engage
him
.
A
youth
passed
in
solitude
,
my
best
years
spent
under
your
gentle
and
feminine
fosterage
,
has
so
refined
the
groundwork
of
my
character
that
I
can
not
overcome
an
intense
distaste
to
the
usual
brutality
exercised
on
board
ship
:
I
have
never
believed
it
to
be
necessary
,
and
when
I
heard
of
a
mariner
equally
noted
for
his
kindliness
of
heart
and
the
respect
and
obedience
paid
to
him
by
his
crew
,
I
felt
myself
peculiarly
fortunate
in
being
able
to
secure
his
services
.
I
heard
of
him
first
in
rather
a
romantic
manner
,
from
a
lady
who
owes
to
him
the
happiness
of
her
life
.
This
,
briefly
,
is
his
story
.
Some
years
ago
he
loved
a
young
Russian
lady
of
moderate
fortune
,
and
having
amassed
a
considerable
sum
in
prize-money
,
the
father
of
the
girl
consented
to
the
match
.
He
saw
his
mistress
once
before
the
destined
ceremony
;
but
she
was
bathed
in
tears
,
and
throwing
herself
at
his
feet
,
entreated
him
to
spare
her
,
confessing
at
the
same
time
that
she
loved
another
,
but
that
he
was
poor
,
and
that
her
father
would
never
consent
to
the
union
.
My
generous
friend
reassured
the
suppliant
,
and
on
being
informed
of
the
name
of
her
lover
,
instantly
abandoned
his
pursuit
.
He
had
already
bought
a
farm
with
his
money
,
on
which
he
had
designed
to
pass
the
remainder
of
his
life
;
but
he
bestowed
the
whole
on
his
rival
,
together
with
the
remains
of
his
prize-money
to
purchase
stock
,
and
then
himself
solicited
the
young
woman
's
father
to
consent
to
her
marriage
with
her
lover
.
But
the
old
man
decidedly
refused
,
thinking
himself
bound
in
honour
to
my
friend
,
who
,
when
he
found
the
father
inexorable
,
quitted
his
country
,
nor
returned
until
he
heard
that
his
former
mistress
was
married
according
to
her
inclinations
.
'
What
a
noble
fellow
!
'
you
will
exclaim
.
He
is
so
;
but
then
he
is
wholly
uneducated
:
he
is
as
silent
as
a
Turk
,
and
a
kind
of
ignorant
carelessness
attends
him
,
which
,
while
it
renders
his
conduct
the
more
astonishing
,
detracts
from
the
interest
and
sympathy
which
otherwise
he
would
command
.
Yet
do
not
suppose
,
because
I
complain
a
little
or
because
I
can
conceive
a
consolation
for
my
toils
which
I
may
never
know
,
that
I
am
wavering
in
my
resolutions
.
Those
are
as
fixed
as
fate
,
and
my
voyage
is
only
now
delayed
until
the
weather
shall
permit
my
embarkation
.
The
winter
has
been
dreadfully
severe
,
but
the
spring
promises
well
,
and
it
is
considered
as
a
remarkably
early
season
,
so
that
perhaps
I
may
sail
sooner
than
I
expected
.
I
shall
do
nothing
rashly
:
you
know
me
sufficiently
to
confide
in
my
prudence
and
considerateness
whenever
the
safety
of
others
is
committed
to
my
care
.
I
can
not
describe
to
you
my
sensations
on
the
near
prospect
of
my
undertaking
.
It
is
impossible
to
communicate
to
you
a
conception
of
the
trembling
sensation
,
half
pleasurable
and
half
fearful
,
with
which
I
am
preparing
to
depart
.
I
am
going
to
unexplored
regions
,
to
'
the
land
of
mist
and
snow
,
'
but
I
shall
kill
no
albatross
;
therefore
do
not
be
alarmed
for
my
safety
or
if
I
should
come
back
to
you
as
worn
and
woeful
as
the
'
Ancient
Mariner
.
'
You
will
smile
at
my
allusion
,
but
I
will
disclose
a
secret
.
I
have
of
ten
attributed
my
attachment
to
,
my
passionate
enthusiasm
for
,
the
dangerous
mysteries
of
ocean
to
that
production
of
the
most
imaginative
of
modern
poets
.
There
is
something
at
work
in
my
soul
which
I
do
not
understand
.
I
am
practically
industrious
--
painstaking
,
a
workman
to
execute
with
perseverance
and
labour
--
but
besides
this
there
is
a
love
for
the
marvellous
,
a
belief
in
the
marvellous
,
intertwined
in
all
my
projects
,
which
hurries
me
out
of
the
common
pathways
of
men
,
even
to
the
wild
sea
and
unvisited
regions
I
am
about
to
explore
But
to
return
to
dearer
considerations
.
Shall
I
meet
you
again
,
after
having
traversed
immense
seas
,
and
returned
by
the
most
southern
cape
of
Africa
or
America
?
I
dare
not
expect
such
success
,
yet
I
can
not
bear
to
look
on
the
reverse
of
the
picture
.
Continue
for
the
present
to
write
to
me
by
every
opportunity
:
I
may
receive
your
letters
on
some
occasions
when
I
need
them
most
to
support
my
spirits
.
I
love
you
very
tenderly
.
Remember
me
with
affection
,
should
you
never
hear
from
me
again
.
