on the ocean

"and i shall watch the ferry boats, and they'll get high,

on a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky.

and i will never grow so old again,

and i will walk and talk,

in gardens all wet with rain..."

-van morrison

"she loves the serene brutality of the ocean,

loves the electric power she felt with each breath

of wet, briny air"

- holly black

"i walked beside the evening sea

and dreamed a dream that could not be;

the waves that plunged along the shore

said only: dreamer, dream no more!"

-george william curtis

"i am longing to be with you, and by the sea,
where we can talk together freely and
build our castles in the air"


-bram stoker

"i thought of you and how you love this beauty

and walking up the long beach all alone

i heard the waves breaking in measured thunder

as you and i once heard their monotone

around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me

the cold and sparkling silver of the sea -

we two will pass through death and ages lengthen

before you hear that sound again with me"
