“At night the sea is very loud,
And voices ride the tide.
At another time, in another place,
Beneath the silent moon,
We laughed together.”

“I laugh, for hope hath happy place with me;
If my bark sinks, 't is to another sea.”

“O sea-bird, beautiful upon the tides,
White as the moon is when the night abides,
Or snow untouched, whose dustless splendour glows
Bright as a sunbeam and whose white wing throws
A glove of challenge on the salt sea-flood.”

“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.”

“The watchdog's voice that bayed the whispering wind,
And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.”

“Humme the Cheapner, Esc, overseen as we thought him, yet worthy of the naym, came at this timecoloured place where we live in our paroqial fermament one tide on another”

“How many rivers must we cross before we learn that the flood is rising high
And the bridges all have burned
Each time another dream is washed into the sea
It's another piece of you
It's another piece of me.”

“Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon.”

“When we rejoice in beautiful scenery, great art, and great music, it is but the flexing of instincts acquired in another place and another time.”

“… to slip beneath the surface and soar along the silent bottom of the sea agile and shining in water honeycombed with light.”
