Beach

"i find myself at the extremity of a long beach.
 how gladly does the spirit leap forth, & suddenly enlarge it's sense of being to the full extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep!
 a greeting & a homage to the sea!
 i descend over it's margin, & dip my hand into the wave that meets me, & bathe my brow.
 that far resounding roar is the ocean's voice of welcome.
 his salt breath brings a blessing along with it." -Nathaniel Hawthorne.
