From The Dynasts, Act IV (King George III to William Pitt The Younger, Prime Minister)
"The bathing is unmatched
Elsewhere in Europe, see its mark on me! -
The air like liquid life."
In Weymouth, Hardy would swim at seven in the morning from the pebble beach towards Preston, or diving off from a boat.
He also enjoyed floating on his back. Swimming was a wonderful tonic.
