a study of the sea, on the one year anniversary of young gossamer and arthur de eriomém's encounter with the sea, nearly being taken by her, yet spared with the promise to pursue her beauty.

thomas sat down and looked at the sea. he remained motionless for a time, as if he had come there to follow the movements of the other swimmers and, although the fog prevented him from seeing very far, he stayed there, obstinately, his eyes fixed on the bodies floating with difficulty. then, when a more powerful wave reached him, he went down onto the slopping sand and slipped among the currents, which quickly immersed him. the sea was calm, and thomas was in the habit of swimming for long periods without tiring. but today he had chosen a new route. the fog hid the shore. a cloud had come down upon him the sea and the surface was lost in a glow which seemed the only truly real thing...........

a march storm was raging out of the north; the roar of the waves penetrated the room and dominated all other sounds; then it seemed as if the waves came right into the room, covering part of it, and then receding thru the walls as tho they were made of mist; and then kept surging thru again and again - once i saw a girl walking down the aisle almost engulfed; outside thru the window i could see the phalanxes of waves rushing toward the shore - i was filled with delight that i was to be in this room where the elements were so close, and came into the room.

and now the storm-blast came, and he
was tyrannous and strong :
he struck with his o'ertaking wings,
and chased us south along.
with sloping masts and dipping prow,
as who pursued with yell and blow
still treads the shadow of his foe,
and forward bends his head,
the ship drove fast, loud roared the blast,
the southward aye we fled.
and now there came both mist and snow,
and it grew wondrous cold :
and ice, mast-high, came floating by,
as green as emerald

two years before the mast, a personal narrative of life at sea - 1840
there is something in the first grey streaks stretching along the eastern horizon and throwing an indistinct light upon the face of the deep, which combines with the boundlessness and unknown depth of the sea around you, and gives one a feeling of loneliness, of dread, and of melancholy foreboding, which nothing else in nature can give.

however, i was very grave for all that day, being also a little sea sick still; but towards night the weather cleared up, the wind was quite over, and a charming fine evening followed; the sun went down perfectly clear and rose so the next morning; and having little or no wind and a smooth sea, the sun shining upon it, the sight was, as i thought, the most delightful that ever i saw.

and maybe the masts are such as are inclined
to shipwreck driven by tempestuous wind.
no fertile isle, no spar on which to cling...
but oh, my heart, listen to the sailors sing!
or
and, it may be, the masts, inviting storms
are of the sort that wind inclines to wrecks
lost, with no mast, no mast, or verdant isle...
but listen, oh my heart, the sailors sing!

the appearance of the sky is indescribably beautiful; clear by day and illuminated at night by the aurora borealis which spreads a roseate tinge over the heavens, & over the sea which reflects it's splendour.

percy bysshe shelley (was lost at sea in 1822)
the funeral of shelley by louis edouard fournierunfathomable sea! whose waves are years,
ocean of time, whose waters of deep woe
are brackish with the salt of human tears!
thou shoreless flood, which in thy ebb and flow
claspest the limits of mortality,
and sick of prey, yet howling on for more,
vomitest thy wrecks on its inhospitable shore;
treacherous in calm, and terrible in storm,
who shall put forth on thee,
unfathomable sea?

... the weather being very hazy, the seaman spyed a rock, within half a cable's length of the ship; but the wind was so strong, that we were driven directly upon it, and immediately split .... we therefore trusted ourselves to the mercy of the waves, and in about half an hour the boat was overset by a sudden flurry from the north. what became of my companions in the boat, as well as those who escaped on the rock, or were left in the vessel, i cannot tell; but conclude they were all lost...

sailors from the wrecked ship endurancethe gale was blowing up again with fresh force, and the little cabin, had become as noisy as a railway station. the turmoil of sound made it seem as though ghostly trains were rushing past the ship - trains of snow....
under the cheerless grey sky the water assumed a leaden hue. not a speck of colour anywhere broke the monotony: sea and sky were monochrome.
