“And what if one of the gods does wreck me out on the wine-dark sea? I have a heart that is inured to suffering and I shall steel it to endure that too. For in my day I have had many bitter and painful experiences in war and on the stormy seas. So let this new disaster come. It only makes one more.”

“Before us, over the tree tops, we beheld a great field of open sea to the East. Sheer above us rose single pines, black with precipices.

Not a man, not a sail upon the sea; the very largeness of the view increased the sense of solitude.”

I sang as I went down the trail to the beach and along the beach to the sandspit. I felt that the day was an omen of good fortune. It was a good day to begin my new home.”
