No matter how many times I find myself at the beach, during each visit the last stanza of Frost's poem "Neither Out Far Nor In Deep" inevitably sneaks into my brain:
They cannot look out far.
They cannot look in deep.
But when was that ever a bar
To any watch they keep?
And now that I've spoiled the ending for you, you may read the rest of the poem here.

Trillihedron
The earth is not round
But faceted:
Fixed together by trillions
Of hedrons—a trillihedron—
So that nowhere that you stand is
Infinite but flat-set, junctioned
On each side by
Other faceted hedrons—
Like people, as a singular
Don’t exist except
As trillihedrons.

Don’t exist except
As trillihedrons.
