Does the sea have emotions, I wonder,
Or is it just a matter of science?
Can the sea become "agitated,"
Or is it merely a chaotic combination
Of wind and moon and sun and season?

🎨 Monet, "Mer agitée à Étretat" (Agitated Sea at Étretat) (1883)

Has something caught her fancy, then --
Some bit of verse, some paragraph?
Perhaps it happened -- oh, but when --
A stolen kiss, a giddy laugh.

🎨 Conrad Kiesel (1846-1921), "Daydreaming"

The sea shells whisper together
While the nymph sings her song
It bubbles up to the surface
Through a sea of silver scales
And golden grotto dreams
A man hearing it
Forgets his life on land
Forgets even to breathe

🎨 Félix Mas, "The Mermaid"

I love to watch her sit and read a book,
This precious girl, this nascent woman fair.
Now in her chair, with that familiar look,

At once amused, but often filled with care.
She holds a small book level with her eyes,
And I am smitten hard and can but stare.

Lavery, The Red Book

It startled horse and rider both, that view,
That sudden, eerie view of ruins old.
The moon was very bright, but big clouds blew
Across the sky, and all was dark and cold.

🎨 Arnold Böcklin, "Moonlit Landscape with Ruins" (1849)

Balance in our lives is always needed.
All throughout the world this law is heeded.
Even arid deserts have their wells
And abandoned churches have their bells.
Then why can't I have you?

🎨Edvard Munch, "Melancholy" (1894)
