Summary "Across the Sea and Other Poems" by Thomas S. Chard is a collection of poetry written during the mid-19th century. This anthology explores themes of life, memory, love, and the spiritual journey across life’s metaphorical seas. The poems reflect on childhood, youth, manhood, and age, revealing a deep introspection and a quest for meaning beyond the physical realm. The collection is centered around several poetic works, including the titular piece "Across the Sea," which serves as a metaphor for life's journey and the yearning for a distant, idealized perfection. The first poem delves into the nostalgia of childhood and the challenges of adulthood, while others like "The Seven Sleepers" recount stories of faith and resilience in the face of adversity. Later verses touch on themes of love, divine guidance, and the inevitable approach of death. Throughout the poems, Chard evokes a sense of longing for a spiritual home and emphasizes the importance of love and faith as guiding forces in navigating life’s turbulent waters.
