Grace (looking over my shoulder) says "maybe Thomas a' Kempis?". (This should
count as a guess on her part, not a second guess on mine; I'm only playing
secretary here. If it's right, she'll have to come up with quotes & type them
in herself.)

I'm not familiar with either Brother Lawrence or Thomas a' Kempis. The author
does, however, have both a given name and a name which he took upon entering
the monastery.

This sounds familiar to me as well.
Is it Thomas Equinas?

Seems too touchy-feely to be Aquinas and too full of love to be Augustine.
Is this text translated from another language?

Not Aquinas, not Augustine. In fact, the two passages were written in the 20th
century--in English.

Aha. FWIW, A' Kempis wrote _The_Imitation_of_Christ_, and Brother Lawrence
wrote _The_Practice_of_the_Presence_of_God_. Both have been around a lot
longer than Merton.

Ahem. This does *not* qualify as "soon".

Twila, can I go next if you are having problems coming up with

Okay. Got a quote for you all.
I met him first in a hurricane; and though we had gone through the hurricane
on the same schooner, it was not until the schooner had gone to pieces under
us that I first laid eyes on him. Without doubt I had seen him with the rest
of the kanaka crew on board, but I had not consciously been aware of his
existence, for the _Petite Jeanne_ was rather crowded.
More later.

Could it be Robert Louis Stevenson?

No, it's not. But you're in the right time period, mostly.

Stevenson seemed like a good guess because of the Hawaiian connection..

Swift was more than a bit earlier than Stevenson.
Hm, no clue at this point. I could try guessing a few authors who wrote
about the sea but will wait until I have more to go on.
