Can’t say I trust it myself, t’ sea: it can seem so blue and gentle, but t’ water’s always cold and tricksy underneathe.
Mrs. Wicklow, in Jan Siegel’s “Prospero’s Children”.
Sadly, I saw this quote & it reminded me of men. Though the sea is often associated with a female personification, I find men seem light & gentle or gray & broody…yet somehow always surprisingly tempestuous within - just like the sea.
