Anyway, i keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, i mean - except me. and i'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. what i have to do, i have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - i mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going i have to come out from somewhere and catch them. that's all i do all day. i'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. i know it's crazy, but that's the only thing i'd really like to be.

More wonderful than the lore of old men and the lore of books is the secret lore of the ocean. blue, green, grey, white, or black; smooth, ruffled, or mountainous; that ocean is not silent. all my days i have watched it and listened to it, and i know it well. at first it told to me only the plain little tales of calm beaches and near ports, but with the years it grew more friendly and spoke of other things; of things more strange and more distant in space and time.
