"...there is so much sea imagery in the book [Winter's Tales*]. One image in particular keeps recurring: an enveloping blueness, in which the horizon dissolves and the sea and the sky seem to be the same element. This is the vision King Erik has when he clears the hill and looks down upon the shore where Granze is fishing, and it is what Lady Helena remembers about her nine days with the young sailor: 'There is no up and down in the sea.' "
~ *Karen Blixen [Isak Dinesen The Life of a Storyteller, Judith Thurman, St. Martin's Press, 1982.
The sun, the sand, the sea ~
" I love to sit on the beach and watch the sunsets, reflecting on the past and reviewing the various possible paths to the future. Somehow, I'm more objective when I'm at the beach. I can shut the rest of the world out and do my best inner reflection." ~ Ruth Fishel
