• Behold the Sea,
  The opaline, the plentiful and strong,
  Yet beautiful as is the rose in June,
  Fresh as the trickling rainbow of July;
  Sea full of food, the nourisher of kinds,
  Purger of earth, and medicine of men;
  Creating a sweet climate by my breath,
  Washing out harms and griefs from memory,
  And, in my mathematic ebb and flow,
  Giving a hint of that which changes not.

• And there, row upon row, with the soft gleam of flowers opened at morning, with the light of this June sun glowing through a faint skin of dust, would stand the dandelion wine. Peer through it at the wintry day - the snow melted to grass, the trees were reinhabitated with bird, leaf, and blossoms like a continent of butterflies breathing on the wind.
