In Irish Mythology, the otherworlds are often depicted as being across the sea and the magical characters we meet in those stories always come from across the waves. It shows that there has been a curiosity and beauty attached to the sea and what lies beyond for as long as humans could express it.

Loved the quotes from "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey".

There is much here that stirs me. The sea has always seemed less a place than a condition of thought, where grief, vastness, and a curious sort of solace meet.
