Sylvia PlathIs it the sea you hear in me, Its dissatisfactions? Or the voice of nothing, that was you madness?
About This Quote
The sea washes away all our troubles and brings freedom. But, not to all. It can carry away our hopes and dreams just as easily as all the rest. It can carry away our life, but it does not take away our soul.
It can carry us to an unknown land, but it cannot take away the loss of love. The sea is a great catalyst for change, but its power is something that must be fought for by heart and soul.
