Immortal Sea



    Hence in a season of calm weather
        Though inland far we be,
Our Souls have sight of that immortal sea
        Which brought us hither,
    Can in a moment travel thither,
And see the Children sport upon the shore,
And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore.

-William Wordsworth (1770-1850),
Ode: Intimations of Immortality from
Recollections of Early Childhood
