Egeria

The 'Egeria,' schooner, was disabled very early in the race by the carrying away of the iron strop round her boom.

Something between an earthly Queen and a divine Egeria; "Serena" he calls her; and, in his high-flown fashion, is very laudatory.

I was not on a stage, but in a room, holding actual and rapt communion with my spirit-bride, Egeria!

It is a sweet illusion, for the maid is not Egeria nor Maud Muller, but under those gentle forms she is the nymph of opportunity.
