GIFT FROM THE SEA(ISBN=9780679732419)
I found a 1955 printing of this book in an old waterfront cabinand was struck by the care with which the previous owner had readit. Eve (the name inscribed inside the front cover and then againabove the heading for chapter 3) made pencil marks on nearly everyparagraph of the book, underlining a phrase, highlighting manypassages with strong vertical marks, scratching out some words thatshe seems to have found superfluous and even x-ing out wholesections that apparently missed their mark with her altogether. Tworusting paper clips isolate several pages, absent any marking atall. Anne Morrow Lindbergh's lyrical words are still relevant andpresage so many of the themes of today's most popular books:simplicity, peaceful solitude, caring for the soul, a woman findingher place in society and life. I heard that the woman who had livedin the cabin had actually passed away some time before. Thank you,Eve, for your gift... from the sea.
