"The sea is the largest cemetery, and it's slumbers sleep without a monument. All other graveyards show symbols of distinction between great and small, rich and poor: but in the ocean cemetery, the king, the clown, the prince, and the peasant are a like, undistinguishable." She said before another pause.
