"The woods are never solitaryâ€“ they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life. But the sea is a mighty soul, forever moaning of some great, unsharable sorrow which shuts it up into itself for all eternity. We can never pierce itâ€™s infinite mysteryâ€“ we may only wander, awed and spell-bound, on the outer fringe of it. The woods call us with a hundred voices, but the sea has one onlyâ€“ a mighty voice that drowns our souls in its majestic music. The woods are human, but the sea is of the company of the archangels."

-- Lucy Maud Montgomery
