The Key to it all

[wood jim]

Why is almost every robust healthy boy with a robust
healthy soul in him, at some time or other crazy to go
to sea? Why upon your first voyage as a
passenger, did you yourself feel such a mystical
vibration, when first told that you and your ship were
now out of sight of land? Why did the
old Persians hold the sea holy? Why did the Greeks
give it a separate deity, and own brother of Jove?
Surely all this is not without meaning. And still
deeper the meaning of that story of Narcissus, who
because he could not grasp the tormenting, mild image
he saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was
drowned. But that same image, we ourselves see in all
rivers and oceans. It is the image of
the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key
to it all.

PS: John, no, man, er, it's M-D.
