Where Sodom and Gomorrah reared their domes and towers, that solemn sea now floods the plain, in whose bitter waters no living thing exists over whose waveless surface the blistering air hangs motionless and dead about whose borders nothing grows but weeds, and scattering tufts of cane, and that treacherous fruit that promises refreshment to parching lips, but turns to ashes at the touch.
I thought as little of that poor Felicia Hemans, whose poetry filled my school-reading years with the roar of the wintry sea breaking from the waveless Plymouth Bay on the stern and rock-bound coast where the Pilgrim Fathers landed on a bowlder measuring eight by ten feet, now fenced in against the predatory hammers and chisels of reverent visitors.

"Darkness!" he went on in low accents that thrilled with the memory of a past feat "dense, horrible, frightful darkness! darkness that palpitated heavily with the labored motion of unseen things! darkness that clung and closed about me in masses of clammy, tangible thickness, its advancing and resistless weight rolled over me like a huge waveless ocean and, absorbed within it, I was drawn down down down toward some hidden, impalpable but All Supreme Agony, the dull unceasing throbs of which I felt, yet could not name.
Then shall we see governments on principles adapted to the nature of the dweller in the Asiatic plains, of the hunter of the everlasting Himmalaya, and the navigator of the waveless Pacific; calling out the native faculties of those vast divisions of mankind, raising, the natural products of inexhaustible soils, whose fertility is now buried in their bosom, and sharing with the nations of the earth the countless mineral treasures which have been locked up in their hills since the Creation; the whole being poured out, to meet the new demands, increase the new engagements, and stimulate the new animation of the increasing millions of mankind.
She feels something warm on her head," he said, rolling his sightless orbs, upon which the splendour broke waveless, casting a grim shadow of him on the jagged rock behind. "No," answered Mr Graham; "it is the sun you feel. He's just out of his grave." The old man gave a grunt.

The chauffeur thrust in his clutch and settled himself down. They glided off along that winding stretch of road. To its very edge, on either side of them, so close that they could almost touch it, came the water, water which stretched as far as they could see, swaying, waveless, sinister-looking. Even Gerald, after his first impulse of wonder, kept his eyes averted and fixed upon the road ahead.

My brother, 'the wicked is like the troubled sea that cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. But you, if you come to Christ, and if you cleave to Christ, may be like that 'sea of glass, mingled with fire, that lies pure, transparent, waveless before the Throne of God, over which no tempests rave, and which, in its deepest depths, mirrors the majesty of 'Him that sitteth upon the Throne, and of the Lamb.
