Text of marker: "LANIER'S OAK. During his visits to Brunswick in the 1870's Sidney Lanier, Georgia's greatest poet, frequently sat beneath this live oak tree and looked out over "a world of marsh that borders a world of sea." Here he received the inspiration which resulted in some of his finest poems. Of these the best known is "THE MARSHES OF GLYNN." 063-10 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1956" - External Identifiers:
