We can but wait and wonder. Nothing more may we ever learn; for what is this one little tragedy among the uncounted millions that the silence of the sea holds so remorselessly. And yet, again, news may come to us out of the unknown out of the lonesome silences of the dread Sargasso sea- the loneliest and the moat inaccessible place of all the lonesome and inaccessible places of this Earth.
[From the Tideless Sea, W. H. Hodgson]
