Page 973 - Who hath desired the Sea? Her excellent loneliness rather Than forecourts of kings, and her outermost pits than the streets where men gather Inland, among dust, under trees— inland where the slayer may slay him— Inland, out of reach of her arms, and the bosom whereon he must lay him— His Sea from the first that betrayed— at the last that shall never betray him: His Sea that his being fulfils?
