You are now / In London, that great sea, whose ebb and flow / At once is deaf and loud, and on the shore / Vomits its wrecks, and still howls on for more / Yet in its depth what treasures!
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822), letter to Maria Gisborne, 1820

I like Percy’s quote. He nailed it!
Best wishes, Pete.
