Excerpt from The Voice of the Ocean The Voice of the Ocean Upon one clear, cool day, when little winds Played a soft chime upon the ocean's bells, Passed a great steamer on its way from shore Bearing to far off lands a multitude Of the small souls which form the staple part Of this old world's inhabitants. And they, To pass the time away, with much small talk Skimmed o'er the surface of the Sea of Thought, Having no thought of drowning in its depths Through very lack of knowledge that 'twas deep. Said one of highest breed and leanest brain: - "'Tis foolishness this vain belief in God, Who is He? - No one knows, nor ever will; He is but Something born within the minds Of mankind in the mass - We know too well How empty is such thought; and, knowing this, We live our lives content; for soon the end Shall come, and we shall be no more at all."
