Authentic Tidings of Invisible Things

Still life with horseshoe crab from the Jersey Shore and seashells from Pensacola Beach

The Sea Shell

...Even in such a shell the Universe itself
Is to the ear of Faith: and there are times,
I doubt not, when to you it doth impart
Authentic tidings of invisible things;
Of ebb and flow and ever-during power;
And central peace, subsisting at the heart
Of endless agitation.

-William Wordsworth
