Sea.

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. - Jules Verne -

“

La mer The Sea Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs That one sees dancing along the clear gulfs A des reflets d'argent Has silver reflections La mer The Sea Des reflets changeants Changing reflections Sous la pluie Under the rain La mer The Sea Au ciel d'été confond In the summer sky merge Ses blancs moutons Its white sheep Avec les anges si purs With such pure angels La mer bergère d'azur The sea, shepherdess of azure Infinie Infinite Voyez See Près des étangs Close to the ponds Ces grands roseaux mouillés These large wet reeds Voyez See Ces oiseaux blancs These white birds Et ces maisons rouillées And these rusted houses La mer The Sea Les a bercés Has rocked them Le long des golfes clairs Along the clear gulfs Et d'une chanson d'amour And with a song of love La mer The Sea A bercé mon cœur pour la vie Has soothed my heart for life
