An illustration for the story Eel-Grass by the author Edna St. Vincent Millay — Minette Layne, Frosted Nudibranch, Seattle, WA

     No matter what I say,
       All that I really love
     Is the rain that flattens on the bay,
       And the eel-grass in the cove;
     The jingle-shells that lie and bleach
       At the tide-line, and the trace
     Of higher tides along the beach:
       Nothing in this place.
