Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Yankee Volunteer My earliest recollections are of the old house in Salem. Through the great window in the hall, I had my first glimpse of Massachusetts Bay. As a child, I loved to climb upon the window-seat and watch the shimmer of the sunlight on the water, until my eyes were dazzled, and could no longer see the gulls dipping in the spray. When the storm clouds gathered angrily, piling up in purple masses, way off behind the ocean, I watched breathlessly and counted the waves, or tried to count them, as they rose and fell, until the sea, grown gray and purple in its anger, was breaking, breaking in white-caps, far as the eye could reach. My childish mind, fed full on Scripture, recalled always those words, "deep calleth unto deep." The love and awe of the ocean grew with my growth, and now, in my old age, the throbbing of the tide sends a responsive thrill through my being, while the keen salt wind upon my cheek revives both life and hope, even when my spirit faints within me.
