"Waterveiled"

“My first vision of earth was water veiled.  I am of the race of men and women who see all things through this curtain of sea and my eyes are the color of water.  I looked with chameleon eyes upon the changing face of the world, looked with anonymous vision upon my uncompleted self.  I remember my first birth in water.” 
— Anaïs Nin, House of Incest
