  1. Joseph Conrad _ The Mirror of the Sea

    A Departure, the last professional sight of land, is always good, or at least good enough. For, even if the weather be thick, it does not matter much to a ship having all the open sea before her bows.

  2. Joseph Conrad _ The Mirror of the Sea

    It is a great doctor for sore hearts and sore heads, too, your ship's routine, which I have seen soothe-at least for a time-the most turbulent of spirits. There is health in it, and peace, and satisfaction of the accomplished round; for each day of the ship's life seems to close a circle within the wide ring of the sea horizon. It borrows a certain dignity of sameness from the majestic monotony of the sea. He who loves the sea loves also the ship's routine.

  3. Joseph Conrad _ The Mirror of the Sea

    Nowhere else than upon the sea do the days, weeks and months fall away quicker into the past. They seem to be left astern as easily as the light air-bubbles in the swirls of the ship's wake, and vanish into a great silence in which your ship moves on with a sort of magical effect.
