“Underneath the sheets were couches and chairs and tables, but not just ordinary couches and chairs and tables—- they looked like works of art. One couch was carved to look like a shell, with wood shaped like the spiral of a conch. Its cushions were blue-green, and the soft knit blanket on top reminded her of sea-foam. Another chair was shaped like the stump of a tree and carved with flowers and acorns. A thick moss-green cushion was sunk into the center of it. The top of a coffee table was a mosaic of pebbles, polished as if by a stream.”

“All shadows of clouds the sun cannot hide
like the moon cannot stop oceanic tide;
but a hidden star can still be smiling
at night's black spell on darkness, beguiling”
