 Roger had "seen himself a point on a moving wavefront,
 propagating through sterile history [...] But Jessica was
 the breaking of the wave. Suddenly there was a beach [...]
 Past and future stopped at the beach" 126

Proposing yesterday, female fellatio is the referent of SEA:
"gathering together of the waters, so the dry land appears",
and earth as female genital; Then the frequent symbolic term,
SAND of the sea must refer to a female genital of a fellator.

        ---

This verse suggests the proper/lawful captivity of the male
fellated by the female; even as the jewish custom of giving
a glass of wine to the prospective bride: If she drinks it,
they are engaged. Probably SEA properly means such a male:

5:22 Fear ye not me?
saith the LORD:
will ye not tremble at my presence,
which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree,
that it cannot pass it:
and though the waves thereof toss themselves,
yet can they not prevail;
though they roar,
yet can they not pass over it?
