Lately the commandant speaks more and more intimately of the fuhrer and the latest thing- prayers, petroleum, loyalty- that he requires. The fuhrer requires trustworthiness, electricity, boot leather. Werner is beginning to see, approaching his sixteenth birthday, that what the fuhrer really requires is boys. Great rows of them walking to the conveyor belt to climb on. Give up cream for the fuhrer, sleep for the fuhrer, aluminum for the fuhrer. Give up Reinhard Wohlmann's father and Karl Westerholzer's father and Martin Burkhard's father.

What i want to write about is the sea... It is my favorite thing, i think that i ever seen. Sometimes i catch myself staring at it and forget my duties. It seems big enough to contain everything anyone could ever feel.

The Sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the globe . . . The sea is only a receptacle for all the prodigious, super-natural things that exist inside it. It is only movement and love; it is the living infinite.
