“Warmest climes but nurse the cruelest fangs: the tiger of Bengal crouches in spiced groves of ceaseless verdure. Skies the most effulgent but basket the deadliest thunders: gorgeous Cuba knows tornadoes that never swept tame northern lands.”

“How happy is the sailor’s life,
From coast to coast to roam;
In every port he finds a wife,
In every land a home.”
