THE VOICE OF THE SEA 



"The child holds a shell to his ear and hears the roaring of 

 the sea. Do not yet tell him that the sound he hears is only 

 the echo of the rushing of blood in his own head. In a higher 

 sense the child is right. To him it speaks .of the sea, its home. 

 It brings the inland child a message from the vast ocean the 

 distant the mysterious. It widens his narrow horizon; it 

 takes him to the shore whose waters wash all other shores. He 

 is no longer isolated, but put in touch with all the world. And 

 this typifies the broad principle that one fact considered in all 

 its relations involves the whole universe."
