The Ship
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
It is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch it until at length it is only a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky meet
and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, "There, its gone!"
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. It is just as large in hull and mast and spar as it was when it left my side, and just as able
to bear its load of living freight to the place of its destination. Its diminished size is in me, not in it.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "It's gone," there are other eyes watching for its coming and other voices ready
to take up the glad shout, "There, it comes!"
