there are times when the ocean is not the ocean - not blue, not even water, but some violent explosion of energy and danger: ferocity on a scale only gods can summon. it hurls itself at the island, sending spray right over the top of the lighthouse, biting pieces off the cliff. and the sound is a roaring of a beast whose anger knows no limits. those are the nights the light is needed most. - m.l. stedman
