Lighthouse

Even when the turmoil of the ocean is bearable, it is a comfort to know that the lighthouse is there. 

There are times when the ocean is not the ocean - not blue, not even water, but some violent explosion of energy and danger: ferocity on a scale only gods can summon. It hurls itself at the island, sending spray right over the top of the lighthouse, biting pieces off the cliff. And the sound is a roaring of a beast whose anger knows no limits. Those are the nights the light is needed most. 
― M. L. Stedman - The Light Between Oceans
