Go, little Book! From this my solitude I cast thee on the Waters,--go thy ways: And if, as I believe, thy vein be good, The World will find thee after many days. Be it with thee according to thy worth: Go, little Book; in faith I send thee forth.
Robert Southey (1847). “The Poetical Works of Robert Southey: Complete in One Volume”, p.765
