Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain.
Man marks the earth with ruin;
his control stops with the shore..."
When I look out on the great ocean I think of that poem that I learned in college; however what seemed true in Lord Byron's day does not hold true now. Today, washed up with the shells, seaweed, sea rocks, and coral were plastic bottles, rubber hair bands, lighters, rusty metals, and other of man's debris. How much will our carelessness ruin the ocean, I wonder.
