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.

Jack London is it. The story is called "The Heathen" and it's not
one of his typical ones, but I have always liked it.
MD, your turn!

Okay, here's my mystery quote:
In the inside there is sleeping, in the outside
there is reddening, in the morning there is
meaning, in the evening there is feeling. In
the evening there is feeling. In feeling
anything is resting, in feeling anything is
mounting, in feeling there is resignation, in
feeling there is recognition, in feeling there
is recurrence and entirely mistaken there is
pinching. All the standards have steamers and
all the curtains have bed linen and all the
yellow has discrimination and all the circle
has circling. This makes sand.
