Moby-Dick

- Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure. Consider also the devilish brilliance and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the dainty embellished shape of many species of sharks. Consider, once more, the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began.

Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life.Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!

- There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

Walesong-The Samans

上世纪80年代，美国伍兹霍尔海洋研究所曾在北太平洋捕捉带一个频率52Hz的神秘声音，随后美国海军对其进行了追踪并证实声音来自一头须鲸。它的发声频率远高于同类的听觉上限，因此独自游吟二十余载而从未有过一个知音。
