I have visited St Michael Mount in Cornwall which is a sister-site to Mont-Saint-Michel across the channel. It is also on an island reached by a causeway but is smaller and rather less architecturally attractive.
yes I saw this once by chance on the internet, and at first I thought it was the French one so strange that both would have the same name too and they look so similar and with the same island-location so to speak. Fascinating.

Yeah, but I am not sure what exactly was his role in the relationship in the beginning. And is it possible at the end that it was her undying love for him that made her save him. Anyway, thank you for you undying service! Jim
I think the selection of the Rover is always very interesting, especially when it's stories or poems not so well known.
And I didn't expect the message of this poem to be like this when I read the title "Ode". Refreshingly different to have a tirade against gold for once and not another adoration poem.

I think many people in colonial service will have had this experience, going to a foreign land hoping to make a fortune but actually ending up with a lonely miserable life.
