“to split the very sea into ours and theirs." Border at the BeachAnd More White Sheets”

“Legends flourish in these borders between land and sea.”

“Just to be heading away from the sea, to be immersed in a beautiful landscape again, to hear the sound of crows, was such a welcome change, and all to be seen so very appealing, a land of peace and plenty, every field perfectly cultivated, hillsides bordering the river highlighted by white limestone cliffs, every village and distant château so indisputably ancient and picturesque.”

“Perfect molecules of plastic sheet the seas.”

“How much more infinite a sea is man? Be not so childish as to measure him from head to foot and think you have found his borders.”

“I love borders. August is the border between summer and autumn; it is the most beautiful month I know.Twilight is the border between day and night, and the shore is the border between sea and land. The border is longing: when both have fallen in love but still haven't said anything. The border is to be on the way. It is the way that is the most important thing.”
