Excerpt from New Zealand
The poet who wrote the hexameter quoted on the title-page meant it to be the first line of a Latin epic. The epic was not written - in Latin at any rate, - and the poet's change of purpose had consequences of moment to literature. But I have always been glad that the line quoted was rescued from the fire, for it fits our islands very well. They are, indeed, on the bounds of the watery world. Beyond their southern outposts the seaman meets nothing till he sees the ice blink of the Antarctic.
