my side says: \"there, she is gone!\" \"gone where?\" gone from my sight. that is all. she is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear the load of living freight to her destined port. her diminished size is in me, not in her. and just at the moment when someone at my side says: \"there, she is gone!\" there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: \"here she comes!\" and that is dying.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Henry Van Dyke" }, "url":

I have often, in the deep stillness of a summer's Sabbath, stood all alone upon the lofty banks of that noble bay, and traced, with saddened heart and tearful eye, the countless number of sails moving off to the mighty ocean.
