In remembering Rex Murphy last week, I quoted his description of his “favourite place,” Gooseberry Cove on the Cape Shore road. To capture its rugged Newfoundland beauty, Rex advised invoking your “favourite Beethoven adagio.”

If an adagio was needful for Gooseberry Cove, for what would the Ninth Symphony be suitable? The entire Atlantic Ocean? At least that.
