My soul is full of longing
She loves the serene brutality of the ocean, loves the electric power
Doesn't it seem to you," asked Madame Bovary, "that the mind moves more freely in the presence of that boundless expanse, that the sight of it elevates the soul and gives rise to thoughts of the infinite and the ideal?
for the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through me.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
she felt with each breath of wet, briny air.
Holly Black, Tithe
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
