.
The seas are the heart's blood of the earth.
Plucked up and kneaded by the sun and the moon,
the tides are the systole and diastole of earth's veins.
The rhythm of waves beats in the sea like a pulse in living flesh.
It is pure force, forever embodying itself in a succession of watery shapes which vanish in its passing.
—Henry Beston
