The Private Sea  ©1967 by William Braden

"...it is easier to sail many thousand
miles through cold and storm and cannibals,
in a government ship, with five hundred
men and boys to assist one, than it is to
explore the private sea, the Atlantic and
Pacific Ocean of one's being alone."
    —Henry David Thoreau, Walden
