The blue sea had over it the mystery of the darkness of the
night; the high noon sun had lost its fiery vigour and shone
with the pale yellow splendour of a full moon. All around me,
before and on either hand, was a waste of waters; the very air
and earth seemed filmed with moving water, and the sound
of falling waters was in my ears.
from The Mystery of the Sea by Bram Stoker
