“The ocean is a wilderness reaching round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences. Serpents, bears, hyenas, tigers rapidly vanish as civilization advances, but the most populous and civilized city cannot scare a shark far from its wharves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Gaze on them, till the tears shall dim thy sight,
But keep that earlier, wilder image bright.”
—William Cullen Bryant (17941878)
