Fifth Sentence on p. 123 Meme

[packbat]

Wow, I just stole a meme from a total stranger (sable_twilight, to be specific). That "latest posts" script must be warping my brain.

In any case:

1. Grab the nearest book.
   
2. Open the book to page 123.
   
3. Find the fifth sentence.
   
4. Post the text of the sentence in your own bulletin ... along with these instructions.
   
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

Mine, from Forms of Verse (what can I say?) was:

  Down came the storm, and smote amain
     The vessel in its strength;
  She shuddered and paused, like a frightened steed,
     Then leaped her cable's length.

Extra credit if you can identify the work from which this is a quote.
