Introduction
The letter comprises a connected sequence of three poems: âLondon to Folkstone (half-past one to half-past five)â ; âThe Sea-Limitsâ; and âBoulogne to Amiens and Parisâ. The text here of âThe Sea-Limitsâ is very different from the poem that DGR later published in his 1870 volume; here it comes under the epistolary title âFolkstone to Boulogne.
