Twixt Land and Sea

by Joseph Conrad

Overview

"Ever since the sun rose I had been looking ahead. The ship glided gently in smooth water. After a sixty days' passage I was anxious to make my landfall, a fertile and beautiful island of the tropics. The more enthusiastic of its inhabitants delight in describing it as the "Pearl of the Ocean."; Well, let us call it the "Pearl."; It's a good name. A pearl distilling much sweetness upon the world. "
