Henri Moret, The Cliffs near the Sea, 1896
"The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring,
inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of
inward contemplation. The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is
sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace."
Kate Chopin, The Awakening, 1899
