Kayaking through the Arch at Goat Rock

I enjoy cursing at my close friends.
Rock on...



And now this spell was snapt: once more  
 I viewed the ocean green,  
 And look'd far forth, yet little saw  
 Of what had else been seen—  
 
 Like one that on a lonesome road  
 Doth walk in fear and dread,  
 And having once turn'd round, walks on,  
 And turns no more his head;  
 Because he knows a frightful fiend  
 Doth close behind him tread.  
 
 But soon there breathed a wind on me,  
 Nor sound nor motion made:  
 Its path was not upon the sea,  
 In ripple or in shade.  
 
 It raised my hair, it fann'd my cheek  
 Like a meadow-gale of spring—  
 It mingled strangely with my fears,  
 Yet it felt like a welcoming.

 

-Excerpt from Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
