“The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe.
Its breath is pure and life-giving. It is an immense desert place where
man is never lonely, for he senses the weaving of Creation on every
hand. It is the physical embodiment of a supernatural existence... For
the sea is itself nothing but love and emotion. It is the Living
Infinite, as one of your poets has said. Nature manifests herself in it,
with her three kingdoms: mineral, vegetable, and animal. The ocean is
the vast reservoir of Nature.”
-- Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
