SONG
UP and down the beach I wander
Here to-night beside the sea,
In my ears the ocean-thunder,
In my heart the dreams of thee.
The sea, the sea is high, love,
Dark, dark, O dark, the sky, love,
And sad is my heart.
In thy outward journey passing
Through the narrow gates of night,
Was there travail in the massing
Of the waters void of light?
O the sea, the sea is high, love,
Swift surge the waters by, love,
And sad is my heart.
William Stanley Braithwaite
There is indeed, perhaps, no better way to hold communion with the sea than sitting in the sun on the veranda of a fishermen's cafe. ~Joseph W. Beach
Because they're composed mostly of dead polyps, coral reefs can last a very long time! Some established reefs are believed to be as many as 5,000 to 10,000 years old
