the great fishpond

[Nospherith]

"The sea, vast and wild as it is, bears thus the waste and wrecks of human art to its remotest shore. There is no telling what it may not vomit up."

 

[Nospherith]

"We thought it would be worth the while to read the epitaphs where so many were lost at sea; however, as not only their lives, but commonly their bodies also, were lost or not identified, there were fewer epitaphs of this sort than we expected, though there were not a few. Their graveyard is the ocean."

indeed. the ocean is a great filter as well, with the its fresh air unpolluted by the spoils of civilization providing a buffer to make air that one can actually stand to breath.

It's a nice place to go, the coast. The jagged rocks and cliffs backed by dark ominous clouds provide almost no contrast to the grey turbid water. It seems uninviting to the passerby, especially after nightfall when the air is cold and each step through sand seems as though through snow. Yet the ocean is not without a sense of irony.
