for the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through me.

THAT crazed girl improvising her music.
Her poetry, dancing upon the shore,

Her soul in division from itself
Climbing, falling She knew not where,
Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship,
Her knee-cap broken, that girl I declare
A beautiful lofty thing, or a thing
Heroically lost, heroically found.

No matter what disaster occurred
She stood in desperate music wound,
Wound, wound, and she made in her triumph
Where the bales and the baskets lay
No common intelligible sound
But sang, 'O sea-starved, hungry sea

W.B. Yeats

If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.
