  William Wordsworth (1854). “The Complete Poetical Works of William Wordsworth”, p.603

• I have seen
  A curious child, who dwelt upon a tract
  Of inland ground, applying to his ear
  The convolutions of a smooth-lipped shell;
  To which, in silence hushed, his very soul
  listened intensely; for from within were heard
  Murmurings whereby the monitor expressed
  Mysterious union with its native sea.
  Even such a shell the universe itself
  Is to the ear of faith; and there are times,
  I doubt not, when to you it doth impart
  Authentic tidings of invisible things,
  Of ebb and flow, and ever enduring power,
  And central peace, subsisting at the heart
  Of endless Agitation.

  William Wordsworth

  Children, Heart, Sea
