I ’m on the sea! I ’m on the sea!
I am where I would ever be,
With the blue above and the blue below,
And silence wheresoe’er I go.

Silence

More quotes by Bryan Procter

I never was on the dull, tame shore,
But I loved the great sea more and more.

Pity speaks to grief
More sweetly than a band of instruments.

All round the room my silent servants wait,
My friends in every season, bright and dim.

My Books: Reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)

Even Echo speaks not on these radiant moors.

The sweetest noise on earth, a woman's tongue;
A string which hath no discord.
