The rim, the sediment that stands for all the water and all the land
of the globe.

Chaff, straw, splinters of wood, weeds, and the sea-gluten,
Scum, scales from shining rocks, leaves of salt-lettuce, left by the tide,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“There is, indeed, nothing that so much seduces reason from vigilance, as the thought of passing life with an amiable woman.”
