salty-geralty: “…there were longings in me for other places and other knowledge […] seeds of these longings had been planted in me years ago, seeds which came to bitter flower as our ship passed through the Straits of Gibraltar and into the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.I wanted those waters to be blue. And they were not. They were the nighttime waters, and how I suffered then, straining to remember the seas that a young man’s untutored senses had taken for granted, that an undisciplined memory had let slip away for eternity.[…] I lowered a lantern down, down through the rising vapor until the fire blazed right over the lapping waters; and nothing came to light on that heaving surface but the light itself, the reflection of that beam travelling constant with me, a steady eye which seemed to fix on me from the depths and say,…your quest is for darkness only. This sea is not your sea. The myths of men are not your myths. Men’s treasures are not yours.” - Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice (1976) -- source link
