Excerpt from The Sea-Farers: A Romance of a New England Coast Town

Such has been what we call our life. But the sullen sea we left has never changed. Some gentler natures of us turn to her in pain, with perhaps some faint remembrance of the tie between. Some wilder natures of us are not far from her, more one with storm and waves than with the quiet land, they recognize upon their hot hearts a mother's touch of healing. Such are of the ancient order, the early world, at odds with this, unlearned In the latest lore of soul and heart, savage sons of the grey sea.
