I rode down with a gentleman to the Ocean House, the other day, to see the sea horses, and also to listen to the roar of the surf, and watch the ships drifting about, here, and there, and far away at sea. When I stood on the beach and let the surf wet my feet, I recollected doing the same thing on the shores of the Atlantic--and then I had a proper appreciation of the vastness of this country--for I had traveled from ocean to ocean across it.

Talbot has translated[16] a "wild chant" which he names "The Song of the Seven Spirits." 1. There are seven! There are seven! In the depths of the ocean there are seven! In the heights of the heaven there are seven! In the ocean stream in a palace they were born. Male they are not: female they are not! Wives they have not!英文原著 · 《A History of Science-1》
The floating island was still faintly illuminated by Alppain. Krag was standing by his side, but Gangnet was no longer there. "What is this Ocean called?" asked Maskull, bringing out the words with difficulty. "Surtur's Ocean."
Maskull nodded, and kept quiet for some time. He rested his face on his arm. "Where's Nightspore?" he asked suddenly. Krag bent over him with a grave expression. "You are Nightspore."
The dying man closed his eyes, and smiled.英文原著 · 《A Voyage to Arcturus》
Also, I had a wonderful bath in the ocean off the aviation camp. I borrowed a suit from one of the aviators, and splashed and swam around for an hour. it was good.

All these facts prove that the velocity of development of animal life in Arctic regions, where the temperature is near the freezing point of water, must be from two to three times smaller than in regions where the temperature of the ocean is about 10 deg C. and from four to nine times smaller than in seas the temperature of which is about 20 deg C. It is, therefore, exactly the reverse of what we should expect when authors state that the density of organisms at or near the surface of the ocean in polar regions is greater than in more temperate regions.英文原著 · 《Darwin and Modern Science》
"O'er the broad heath the bowstrings twang, While high in air the arrows sang. The iron shower drives to flight The foeman from the bloody fight. The warder of great Odin's shrine, The fair-haired son of Odin's line, Raises the voice which gives the cheer, First in the track of wolf or bear. His master voice drives them along To Hel -- a destined, trembling throng; And Nokve's ship, with glancing sides, Must fly to the wild ocean's tides. -- Must fly before the king who leads Norse axe-men on their ocean steeds."英文原著 · 《Heimskringla》
