Description

"Now we have met, we have look, we are safe;
Return in peace to the ocean, my love;
I too am part of that ocean, my love;we are not so much separated;
Behold the great rondure;the cohesion of all, how perfect!
But as for me, for you, the irresistible sea is to separate us,
As for an hour, carrying us diverse;yet cannot carry us diverse for ever;
Be not impatient;a little space;Know you, I salute the air, the ocean and the
land,
Every day, at sundown, for your dear sake, my love."
~Walt Whitman
