Epigraph

Why does the sea moan evermore?

Shut out from heaven it makes its moan.

It frets against the boundary shore;

All earth’s full rivers cannot fill

The sea, that drinking thirsteth still.

CHRISTINA ROSSETTI

The unknown and the marvelous press upon us from all sides. They loom above us and around us in undefined and fluctuating shapes, some dark, some shimmering, but all warning us of the limitations of what we call matter, and of the need for spirituality if we are to keep in touch with the true inner facts of life.

ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
