My name is Ishmael. Some years ago, having no money in my pocket, I went to sea. I thought that I would sail around and see the watery part of the world.
I long to be out there at the horizon — that place on the water where the sea seems to meet the sky.

It is where people on land lose sight of the sea. But the world does not end at the horizon. For me, the horizon is where the world begins.
One morning I awoke with this restless feeling and went out for a walk. I found myself wandering down to the sea. I sat on the dock (碼頭) and dreamily stared out over the ocean. How I love to stand on the deck and feel the warmth of the sun on my back! The best way to go to sea is as a sailor — with water all around and a huge blue sky above.

Sitting there, I looked at the boats that were tied to the dock. The waves gently rocked the boats from side to side as if they were restless to get back to the sea. It was then that I decided to leave the land and return to the sea.
Feeling free and happy, I returned to my room and stuffed a shirt or two into my old suitcase. There was no time to lose now. I had made up my mind.
Soon I was on my way. When I reached New Bedford it was already dark, and I found I had missed the last boat to Nantucket.

Personification
Think and share.
