"The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sand was dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because,
No clouds were in the sky.
No birds were flying overhead-
There were no birds to fly."
Eight points to whomever can tell me the source.
When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

The sea was wet as wet could be, the sand was dry as dry;
You could not see a cloud because no cloud was in the sky.
No birds were flying overhead… there were no birds to fly.

That was quick. You used a search engine, didn't you?
A harder one;
"O, what is life but a mouthful of air?"
Said the rambling, shambling, travelling man
"Yet all those lovely things that were,
Life, for I saw them dancing there."
Ten points.

This is correct.
I'm trusting you not to have used a search engine, though.

Truthful disagreement is often a great sign of progress. (Paraphrased a little to prevent googling  ).

Although the books are usually targeted toward a school-age audience, I wouldn't say an adult shouldn't check them out if they haven't read them.

A seaboy on the giddy mast
Sees nought but ocean waves
And hears the wild inconstant blast
Where loud the tempest raves
My life is like the ocean wave
And like the inconstant sea
In every hope appears a grave
And leaves no hope for me
My life is like the oceans lot
Bright gleams in the morning gave
But storms oerwhelmed the sunny spot
Deep in the ocean wave
My life hath been the ocean storm
A black and troubled sea
When shall i find my life a calm
A port and harbour free 1843 First published 1949
