"A low line of shore was visible at first on the right between the movement of the waves and fog, but when we came further it was lost sight of, and nothing could be seen but the mist curling in the rigging, and a small circle of foam"

This quote paints a vibrant picture of a foggy day at sea. The shore is at first noticeable, however as the boat moves even more away, it is lost in the mist. The only thing that can be seen is the fog curling around the rigging of the boat and a little circle of foam created by the waves. The quote conveys a sense of isolation and seclusion, as the boat is surrounded by nothing but fog and the sea. It likewise conveys a sense of mystery, as the shore is concealed from view and the boat is delegated check out the unidentified. The quote is a suggestion of the power of nature and the beauty of the sea, even in its most mystical and separated minutes.
