The ocean ends, like life and vision, at a horizon that is the fault of the curvature of the eye and earth, with no proof of true end at all. The ocean seems indefinite. It presents the eye with a line that is an illusion. We linger on its shores or live on its surfaces, but never have a means of encompassing the whole. … A single drop is as endless as all. The world is the world regardless of where you stand. … Water offers to us our own reflection, but not as a mirror does. We see our own face on the surface of the water, but we see through our face the depths below.
