I drank to drown my sorrows, but the damned things learned how to swim.
Swim Sorrow Drank
For my father the one calamity was that my brother and sister and i never learned to swim. my father, who was very macho, was a strong swimmer and was terribly disappointed to have children who didn't swim. once when my mother was sitting in a beach chair - i can still see the big umbrella - she called to my father, "throw them in! throw them in! they'll swim!" so he did. then he looked down, and there were the three sendak children lying perfectly still underwater, not fighting for life!

Opportunity Thinking People
He that can swim needs not despair to fly; to swim is to fly in a grosser fluid, and to fly is to swim in a subtler. we are only to proportion our power of resistance to the different density of matter through which we are to pass. you will be necessarily upborne by the air if you can renew any impulse upon it faster than the air can recede from the pressure.
