William Hope Hodgson - The Voice of the Ocean: "A light to souls in need''

More about the book

On a clear, cool day, a great steamer sails from shore, carrying many souls to distant lands. To pass the time, they engage in light conversation, skimming the surface of deeper thoughts without realizing the depths below. One individual, of high status yet limited intellect, expresses skepticism about the existence of God. He dismisses belief as foolishness, claiming that God is merely a construct of human thought, and that such beliefs are empty. He asserts that they live contentedly, accepting that life will end and they will cease to exist. This excerpt captures a moment of existential reflection amid the mundane chatter of travelers.
