About This Book

A seaside narrative contrasts the bustling, fashionable new pier with an older, solitary chain pier where thinkers and lovers seek the sea's hush. The narrator, weighed by grief after a personal loss, visits the pier at moonlight and recalls a single hour of intense happiness beside the water. Lyrical descriptions of waves, wind, and shorelife build atmosphere while memories of a vanished intimacy and an implied calamity bind the narrator's sorrow to the place, blending romantic reverie with brooding reflection on memory and mourning.
