“How does it happen that this subconscious self is such an unconscionable, persistent, consistent, and abnormal liar about itself? Why does it not now and then by some sort of accident tell the truth?”

“Men call thee false and fickle,
The all-devouring sea;

And shudder at thy caverns
With their dread mystery.

But thou to me art ever
The faithful and the fond,

Disclosing half thy beauty,
But hinting more beyond.

Thine infinite suggestion
Still lures me to thy side...”

“‘Oh, where is the sea?’ the ﬁshes cried,
⁠As they swam the crystal clearness through;
‘We’ve heard from of old of the ocean’s tide,
⁠And we long to look on the water’s blue.
The wise ones speak of the inﬁnite sea.
⁠Oh, who can tell us if such there be?’

The lark ﬂew up in the morning bright,
⁠And sang and balanced on sunny wings;
And this was its song: ‘I see the light,
⁠I look o’er a world of beautiful things;
But, flying and singing everywhere,
⁠In vain I have searched to find the air.’”
