The sea of indistinct faces murmured; feet shifted on the ground.

The rigging creaked, the wind lulled, the sea murmured.

The sea sighed and murmured under the wind.

Stands with fretted lamps were set about, casting a gentle glow, and the sea murmured gently.

"Fall with me," the sea murmured, promising the happy incantation of a new freedom.

Puppies yapped, the sea murmured, and the wind trailed lightly through the fluttering cypress leaves.

The sea murmured, and he thought it was the trees.

At their backs, the sea growled and murmured; the land quivered beneath their feet.

It was warm, the sea murmured beautifully, the wind whispered in the trees.

The sea murmured perpetually, and the moonlight lit up the headland and whitened the strip of beach.
