Thinking about the Oceanー海のことを考えています


"How gladly does the spirit leap forth, and suddenly enlarge its sense of being to the full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep! A greeting and a homage to the Sea! I descend over its margin, and dip my hand into the wave that meets me, and bathe my brow. That far-resounding roar is Ocean's voice of welcome. His salt breath brings a blessing along with it. Now let us pace together- the reader's fancy arm in arm with mine- this noble beach..."

-Nathaniel Hawthorne, from Foot-prints on the Sea-shore
