"the sea always filled her with longing,

though for what she was never sure."

"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
