The Reward of Enterprise by Ward Muir

Question

It was overwhelming. Never in all my life have I attained to a rapture comparable with that bathe in mid-Atlantic. I knew, even at the time, that it would be unforgettable. I had aspired to be able to say that I had swum in water three miles deep . . . oh, never mind what vain boast I had promised myself. Boasting was forgotten. I was experiencing. I was surrendered to an ecstasy, an enchantment, a glee, beyond expression grandiose and delicious, I lolled in the pellucid water, not troubling to swim, I let myself go, in those dizzy soarings and sinkings I abandoned myself to this vast and beautiful force; I felt at once infinitely little and infinitely great.
