The Ocean Has an Irresistible Appeal
- "It is the elusiveness of that meaning [the ocean’s beauty] that haunts us, that sends us again and again into the natural world where the key to the riddle is hidden. It sends us back to the edge of the sea, where the drama of life played its first scene on earth and perhaps even its prelude; where the forces of evolution are at work today, as they have been since the appearance of what we know as life; and where the spectacle of living creatures faced by the cosmic realities of their world is crystal clear." - Rachel Carson The Edge of the Sea. 1955
