MySpot: The Rocky Shore of the Sea

"I recall that day on the beach - the sand so brilliant, the clouds so massive, 

and the wind punishing your hair..."

John Geddes

MySpot: Water-Color Washes

"... And I shall watch the ferry boats, and they'll get high, 

on a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky. 

and i will never grow so old again, 

and i will walk and talk, in gardens all wet with rain..."

Van Morrison

Unrestrained Sea and Sky

"Hark, now hear the sailors cry, 

Smell the sea, and feel the sky.

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic..."

Van Morrison

Golden Sunset

"The sunset faded and blended from pink to peach to mango in a smoothie in the sky. 

For as long as she doesn’t love me, I will love her."

Jarod Kintz

MySpot: Smell the Sea, and Feel the Sky

"So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there 

that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, 

as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, 

or the clouds had dropped down into the sea."

Virginia Woolf

MySpot: Remember the Sea

"...and you will hold me with your wondering eyes in the serenity of purest mind 

at the dreams edge of my quiet golden shores 

accompanied by the melodies of emerald blue rippling waves 

where I will always remain 

voicing harmony in the over the rainbow soothing memories of your heart..."

Oksana Rus

The Source

"The sun was shining on the sea,

Shining with all his might:

He did his very best to make

The billows smooth and bright -

And this was odd, because it was

The middle of the night. (...)

The sea was wet as wet could be,

The sands were dry as dry.

You could not see a cloud, because

No cloud was in the sky:

No birds were flying overhead -

There were no birds to fly."

Lewis Carroll 

No Restraints

"Though for some time I have not spoken of the roaring of the breakers, 

and the ceaseless flux and reflux of the waves, 

yet they did not for a moment cease to dash and roar, 

with such a tumult that, if you had been there, 

you could scarcely have heard my voice the while; 

and they are dashing and roaring this very moment,

though it may be with less din and violence, 

for there the sea never rests. 

We were wholly absorbed by this spectacle and tumult, 

and like Chryses, though in a different mood from him, 

we walked silent along the shore of the resounding sea...

though I doubt if Homer's Mediterranean Sea ever sounded so loud as this."

Henry David Thoreau

Barcelona: Striven with the Tide

"Wind of the sea,

O where,

where,

where,

through the salt and spray,

do you bear me,

in misery?"

Hilda Doolittle

Lost at Sea

"I must go down to the sea again, 

to the lonely sea and the sky.

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by."

John Masefield
