Waves After Dark - Lover's Point Monterey, CA

26 November 2023

Video ID: sounds of the waves crashing and rolling in over the beach and rocky shoreline. The clouds mirror the sea foam, and a single star does the same with the distant light of Santa Cruz. The waves roll in a few feet tall at angles to each other, breaking in white cascades that spread out into a gentler swell of foam stretched out and fractured over patches of blue-green water.

Ulysses by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Come, my friends, 'T is not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die. It may be that the gulfs will wash us down: It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And see the great Achilles, whom we knew. Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
