The effect of sea on Casals

In the last sentence of this article, Casals said that the sea is never the same, never , not from one moment to the next, always in the process of change, always becoming something different and new. I think that Casals find the similar parts between the sea and the life he wanted. That is every day is different, new and full of change. The sea reminds him that he must keep his life new, fantastic and unbelievable.
