To an isle in the water
With her would I go.”

“The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place.

Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
