Chapter 137

"When there are great forces and lives and coral reefs and worlds held in the realms of the oceans, why do they speak the language of silence?"

 

"How do you postulate so certainly that the language of the oceans and their deep is Silence?"

"Have you nev'r considered, my dear, how:

When you inscribe your words upon the shore and await the ocean's answers, it brings its waves to sweep over and leave, in response, nothing? That is the language of its deep.

Nothingness, despite harbouring great fates of tide and salt and coral and whale and life."

 

He is as the Ocean, said they. Per-haps, it was for he spoke naught whilst there was much held within his soul.
