““Quicksands Demons and Wonders Winds and Tides Yet in the distance the sea has withdrawn Demons and Wonders Winds and Tides And you Like a seaweed the wind gently caresses In the sands of your bed you're moving dreaming Demons and Wonders Winds and Tides Yet in the distance the sea has withdrawn But in your half-opened eyes Two small waves staid Demons and Wonders Winds and Tides Two small waves to drown myself.””

“That over these sea pastures, wide rolling watery prairies, and Potters' Fields of all four continents, the waves should rise and fall, and ebb and flow unceasingly; for here, millions of mixed shades and shadows, drowned dreams, somnambulisms, reveries; all that we call lives and souls lie…” quote by Herman Melville
