Die ewige see.

"Wide sea,

that one continuous murmur

breeds along the pebbled shore

 of memory!"

John Keats

"Those who live by the sea

 can hardly form a single thought of which the sea

 would not be part."

                                                                    Hermann Broch

"To me, the sea is like a person

like a child that I've known a long time.

I never feel alone when I'm out there."

--Gertrude Ederle
