Ocean and sea1 quote
I will go back to the great sweet mother, Mother and lover of men, the sea. — Algernon Charles Swinburne · 1866Tired heart1 quote
I am tired of tears and laughter,
And men that laugh and weep;
Of what may come hereafter
For men that sow and reap:
I am weary of days and hours,
Blown buds of barren flowers,
Desires and dreams and powers
And everything but sleep. — Algernon Charles Swinburne · 1866
