"..life swiftly treading over endless space;
And, at her foot-print, but a bygone pace,
The ocean-past, which, with increasing wave,
Swallow'd her steps like a pursuing grave.
Sad were my thoughts that anchor'd silently
On the dead waters of that passionless sea,
Unstirr'd by any touch of living breath:
Silence hung over it, and drowsy death..."

I love melancholy.
It's a shame, really.
I would probably otherwise be a very upbeat person.
I looked for you yesterday but could not find you.
i think it's an awesome quote.
i like your writing as well.
great poem.
