Excerpt from By the Deep Sea: A Popular Introduction to the Wild Life of the British Shores
The sea is the very fountain and reservoir of the life of this globe. As the heart is to man and his fellow vertebrates, so is the ocean to the world. It is the centre of the circulatory system; and that system means the life, the health, the sus tenance of the body through which it sends its fluids. With the destruction of the heart the human life must cease; and with the annihilation of the sea, could such a thing be possible, all life on the globe must come to an end. We know it is the source of all our Vitalizing Showers, of every fertilizing stream, Of every commerce-laden river. The sun and the winds distil its waters, and carry the sponge-like clouds over the lands, to drop their moisture in rain and mist and snow, making vegeta tion possible, and giving man two-thirds of his entire substance for there are ninety-eight pounds of water in the man of ten stone!
