 Foot-Prints on the Sea-Shore, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1838, 1842
In front, the sea; in the rear, a precipitous bank, the grassy verge of which is breaking away, year after year, and flings down its tufts of verdure upon the barrenness below.
In the rear, the precipice is broken and intermixed with earth, which gives nourishment not only to clinging and twining shrubs, but to trees, that gripe the rock with their naked roots, and seem to struggle hard for footing and for soil enough to live upon.
That feeling and that knowledge are mine, at this moment; for, on the shore, far below me, the fishing-party have landed from their skiff, and are cooking their scaly prey by a fire of drift-wood, kindled in the angle of two rude rocks.

Sullivan's On Shore and Sea, with words by Tom Taylor, was composed expressly for, and performed at, the opening of the London International Exhibition, 1 May, 1871.
The action passes on shore at one of the many small sea-ports dependent on Genoa, such as Cogoletto or Camogli, Ruta, or Porto-Ferio - in which galleys were manned and fitted out for her service - and at sea, on board, first a Genoese, and afterwards of a Moorish galley.
