“In her sepulcher there by the sea —
In her tomb by the sounding sea.”

“The sea! The sea!.... in her growling fury, she reminds me of a of the caged monster who can devour me.”

“There's lots of good fish in the sea… maybe… but the vast masses seem to be mackerel or herring, and if you're not mackerel or herring yourself, you are likely to find very few good fish in the sea.”

“Reason has moons, but moons not hers
Lie mirror'd on her sea,
Confounding her astronomers,
But, O! delighting me.”

“The waters were his winding sheet, the sea was made for his tomb;
Yet for his fame the ocean sea, was not sufficient room.”

“Never trust her at any time, when the calm sea shows her false alluring smile.”

“And her voice is a string of colored beads,
Or steps leading into the sea.”

“A Lady that was drown'd at Sea, and had a wave for her Winding sheet.”

“Broad-based upon her people’s will,
And compass'd by the inviolate sea.”

“That's what sailing is, a dance, and your partner is the sea. And with the sea you never take liberties. You ask her, you don't tell her. You have to remember always that she's the leader, not you. You and your boat are dancing to her tune.”
