“The idea for this book came to me in 1985 in Venice as I watched that city interact with sea, sky, and wind.”

“It was in the nature of those who had long dreamt of Pacific empire to stress the optimism with which George Berkeley opened his quatrain. Few pondered the line with which he closed it:

Time's noblest offspring is its last.”
