The woods and the sea

“The woods are never solitary – they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life. But the sea is a mighty soul, for ever moaning of some great, unshareable sorrow, which shuts it up into itself for all eternity. We can never pierce its infinite mystery – we may only wander, awed and spellbound, on the outer fringe of it. The woods call to us with a hundred voices, but the sea has only one – a mighty voice that drowns our souls in its majestic music. The woods are human, but the sea is of the company of the archangels.”
