Summary

This quote portrays the image of a face that appears vulnerable and devoid of expression, comparable to a rose before it is sprayed with a harmful chemical like D.D.T. The description emphasizes a sense of powerlessness, as if the face is waiting to be overwhelmed by an external force. This analogy implies the impending destruction or harm that could befall someone who feels defenseless and exposed.

There is a great solitude about such a shore. The woods are

There is a great solitude about such a shore. The woods are never solitary- they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life. But the sea is a mighty soul, forever moaning of some great, unshareable sorrow, which shuts it up into itself for all eternity. We can never pierce its infinite mystery- we may only wander, awed and spell-bound, on the outer fringe of it. The woods call to us with a hundred voices, but the sea has one only- a mighty voice that drowns our souls in its majestic music. The woods are human, but the sea is of the company of the archangels.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
