my rainy weather palette

the ocean's secret

But more wonderful than the lore of old men and the lore of books is the secret lore of ocean. 

h.p. lovecraft

the siren

I love these bookends, and just might have to get them for my living room bookshelf! 

I have seen them riding seaward on the waves

Combing the white hair of the waves blown back

When the wind blows the water white and black.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea

By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown

Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
