The expanse of the ocean is seldom seen by the novice with indifference.
JAMES FENIMORE COOPER, The Pathfinder
There's nothing quite like surfing by yourself in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but unpredictable weather patterns, below deck accomodation, sea snakes, coral cuts and packs of reef sharks make it a trip for the committed seadog.
MARK THORNLEY, Surfing Australia
- The ocean solitudes are blest,
- For there is purity.
NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, "The Ocean"
- Have you never, when waves were breaking, watched children at sport on the beach,
- With their little feet tempting the foam-fringe, till with stronger and further reach
- Than they dreamed of, a billow comes bursting, how they turn and scamper and screech!
ALFRED AUSTIN, "A Woman's Apology"
