+<h2>
+	INTRODUCTION.
+</h2>
+<p>
+"Norman's Woe" is the picturesque name of a rocky headland, reef, and
+islet on the coast of Massachusetts, between Gloucester and Magnolia.
+The special disaster in which the name originated had long been lost
+from memory when the poet Longfellow chose the spot as a background
+for his description of the "Wreck of the Hesperus," and gave it an
+association that it will scarcely lose while the English language
+endures. Nor does it matter to the legend lover that the ill-fated
+schooner was not "gored" by the "cruel rocks" just at this point,
+but nearer to the Gloucester coast.
+</p>
+<p>
+The poet has done many things well; and he has done few things better
+than this ballad in the quaint, old-time style, with its nervous energy
+and sonorous rhythm, wherein one hears the trampling of waves and
+crashing of timbers.
+Indeed, it is so well done, by art concealing art, that much of its
+force and beauty escape the careless reader; whereas, the thoughtful one
+finds in it an ever-increasing charm. It is worth noting that love, the
+usual ballad <i>motif</i>, is absent and is not missed. The almost human
+struggles and sufferings of the vessel, and the contrast between the
+daring, scornful skipper, and the gentle, devout maiden, in the midst of
+the terrors of storm and wreck, furnish abundant emotion and imagery;
+in truth, many of the lines are literally packed with color, movement,
+and meaning.
