Introduction
The letter comprises a connected sequence of three poems: “London to Folkstone (half-past one to half-past five)” ; “The Sea-Limits”; and “Boulogne to Amiens and Paris”. The text here of “The Sea-Limits” is very different from the poem that DGR later published in his 1870 volume; here it comes under the epistolary title “Folkstone to Boulogne.
