Lustrous momently, near on earth she sinks; Life's full throb over breathless and abased: Yet stand they, though impalpable the links, One, more one than the bridally embraced.

George Meredith
So sang the shore, the long bay-scented shore, Broken by many an isle, many an inlet bird-embosomed, And the sea gave answer, bridally, tidally turning, And leapt, radiant, into his rocky arms!
