Description
Why did the old Persians hold the sea holy? Why did the Greeks give it a separate deity, and own brother Jove? Surely all this is not without meaning. And still deeper the meaning of that story of Narcissus, who because he could not grasp the tormenting mild image he saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was drowned. But that same image, we ourselves see in all rivers and oceans. It is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life, and this is the key to it all.
From Moby Dick by Herman Melville
Ourselves in Rivers and Oceans - a poetry anthology.
A collection of poems from over 100 international writers reflecting on the theme of ´water´, with original illustrations by Scottish artist, Colin Thom.
The front cover features a photograph by professional photographer Mike Curry.
The foreword is written by Easkey Britton, PhD. Surfer, scientist, explorer and more. Author of Ebb & Flow, Saltwater in the Blood, and 50 Things to Do by the Sea.
All proceeds are donated to the charity Water.org.
