On this day there was soon wind enough and to spare. The same might have been said of the sea. The Spray was in the midst of the turbulent Gulf Stream itself. She was jumping like a porpoise over the uneasy waves.

The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea.

The seas are quiet when the winds give o'er; So calm are we when passions are no more!

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

I think that going to the beach as a child, being in the water and smelling that salt air and hearing the seagulls, it had a real calming effect. But also, it was a mysterious thing - I remember wondering what was under those dark New England seas.

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky; and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.

For all that has been said of the love that certain natures (on shore) have professed for it, for all the celebrations it has been the object of in prose and song, the sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.

Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.

I find the presence of the sea quite inspiring, and sometimes I do just get out and walk around and take in the sea breeze to try and clear my mind.

She is such a good friend that she would throw all her acquaintances into the water for the pleasure of fishing them out again.
