Emptiness costs a bit extra: In distant horizons there is peace. Given two windows on a whitewashed world, How could one not long for the sea? The soul wings it out to the horizon, Yet stays contented in a well-ordered room. Sing to the gauze-covered shallows, Inlets and coves and the open sea! Xylophones tingle on porches unseen.
