Georgia O'Keeffe, York Beach, Maine, May 23, 1928
"How the ocean looks to me... It has been all greenish gray... is as terrifically male and female ever - the same terrific male power in the overpowering breakers as they move toward you slowly - but surely coming - and the same marvelous loveliness that seems female when they break - I love it... There are no people. - it is all empty - but so powerful and so beautiful - and so clean."
