“ocean's snaking blues beyond the meadow”
“Ah, well, then you've never stood on a beach as the waves came crashing in, the water stretching out from you until it's beyond sight, moving and blue and alive and so much bigger than even the black beyond seems because the ocean hides what it contains.”
“At beyond continent of reality, there are oceans of ideas.”
“It was as if the room beyond the blast furnace was a tub and someone had turned the faucets on the cold and hot running snakes.”
“There are times when the ocean is not the ocean - not blue, not even water, but some violent explosion of energy and danger: fierceness on a scale only gods can summon.”
“Blue, green, grey, white, or black; smooth, ruffled, or mountainous; that ocean is not silent.”
