“We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.”

“Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.”

“The world is a sea in which we all must surely drown.”

“For in tremendous extremities human souls are like drowning men; well enough they know they are in peril; well enough they know the causes of that peril;--nevertheless, the sea is the sea, and these drowning men do drown.”

from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
since days of long ago.”

“I have drowned
in the big sea
now I find I'm still alive”
