“The real gift is time. Now. Each other, this night, and the wide, wide moon-silvered sea.”
“Often I have thought of the day when I gazed for the first time at the sea. The sea is vast, the sea is wide, my eyes roved far and wide and longed to befree. But there was the horizon. Why a horizon, when I wanted the infinitefrom life?”
“I came to realize clearly that the mind is no other than the Mountain and the Rivers and the great wide Earth, the Sun and the Moon and the Sky”.”
“Now they were sixtyish and gray and almost as wide as they were tall, and so accustomed to each other's habits that whenever he sneezed, she blew her nose.”
“Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never a saint took pity on My soul in agony.”
“This time of night, the sky was flung wide open, stars spread like a story across the horizon.”
