Georgia O'Keeffe, York Beach, Maine, June 2, 1928
"Saturday afternoon -
Everyone has gone somewhere - and everyone wanted me to go along- I just wanted to stay at home and look at the ocean and be still - This thing that the ocean is - that I like so much - terrifies me - the long steady roll of the clean green breakers - the blue day - the spray like the manes of wild white horses flying back from the top of each wave - It is wonderful -"
