The Story

6W Oliver Wendell Holmes- My Favorite Poems and My Hunt After The Captain. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Co., 1883

Notes

Oliver Wendell Holmes’s poems often blend wit, gentle satire, and heartfelt sentiment, and “My Hunt after the Captain” reflects that same lively spirit. In this humorous prose-poem travel narrative, Holmes recounts chasing after a beloved sea captain who always seems a step ahead of him, turning a simple journey into a series of amusing misadventures. With playful language and light self-mockery, Holmes captures the quirks of travel, the charm of maritime characters, and the warmth of human connection. Like many of his works, it’s less about the destination and more about the delight of the pursuit—told with the clever, good-natured voice that made Holmes a favorite among 19th-century American readers.
