William Outerson Quotes

Through All His Years Of Roving, Even On Nights Like This, He Had Remained Blind To The Beauty Of The Sea, And Now His Feeling Toward It Had Settled Into Weary Hatred.

Dimly At Times, In Moments Of Rare Emotion, He Had Caught A Glimpse Of The Mystic Hand That Beckons Beyond The Horizon And Felt For A Little While The Fated Urge Of The Wanderer. But That Was In The Beginning, Long Ago When He Had First Gone To Sea, And He Had Forgotten It.
