Good morning, Jordy. Let me add my thanks to your finding Hawthorne's
poem. While it's hardly obscure to academics, it is in the mainstream;
I'll bet that fewer than 1 in 10 Hawthorne fans today know that he wrote
poetry.

And Poetry Foundation (PF) is a great site for poetry readers. There are
many poetry sites out there, some good, some bad, but PF is one of the
best; not just popular, but authoritative. One could call it the "gold
standard."

I'd be remiss, though, if I didn't add that Penny's Poetry Pages (PPB)
has also blogged "The Ocean." So what, a reader might think? If they can
read the poem on PF, why should they bother with PPB? What can PPB offer
that PF cannot?

The answer to the the last question is: a video. Yes, there's a
well-read video of "The Ocean" embedded on PPB, part of our ongoing
project to add videos to as many poems as we can. Unfortunately, I have
no informatio on it, but it is nice to hear the video as one reads
along.
