“Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.”

“A noiseless patient spider,I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated,Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.And you O my soul where you stand,Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,Till the bridge you will need be form'd, till the ductile anchor hold,Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.”

“Love is a ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses”

“Those bitter sorrows of childhood!-- when sorrow is all new and strange, when hope has not yet got wings to fly beyond the days and weeks, and the space from summer to summer seems measureless.”

“No longer will you be a weird Robinson Crusoe, imprisoned on an island of night surrounded by oceans of death.”

“There exists no God. What exists is godliness, and that godliness surrounds you. We are all in the same ocean.”
