B. 29025552 Drifting Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "Drifting" by T. Buchanan Read is a lyrical poem written in the late 19th century. This work captures the profound tranquility and dreamy contemplation of nature, as the speaker reflects on a journey across the serene waters of the Vesuvian Bay. The imagery evokes a sense of peace and an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing for deep introspection. The poem conveys a feeling of drifting both literally and metaphorically, as the narrator loses oneself in the beauty of the landscape. From the vivid descriptions of the picturesque surroundings, such as the purple peaks and crystal creeks, to the haunting beauty of Sorrento with its connection to the poet Tasso, each stanza invites readers to share in a moment of idyllic serenity. Through the exploration of nature, emotions of joy and a longing for peace are beautifully illustrated, culminating in an overall sense of harmony between the individual and the natural world.
