There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:

From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.”
― Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
