Strange that some of the most glorious sounds in the world should have come from a man  Beethoven  who in the end could hear no sound (except, perhaps, the awful cacophony of tinnitus).
The sound of opposite is
gently crashing surf, then hot sun,

The sound of the loon might well be the most curious  if not the most thrilling  birdcall in nature.
Vaguely yodel-like, it is a comforting call...but it is also slightly frightening, slightly otherworldly.
The loon is the state bird of Minnesota.  Its call is infinitely more interesting than the din of the other loons that Minnesota keeps in its legislature.
Some years ago, I was invited to a party in Cologne by two American girls. Most of the guests were Americans, so we talked English all the time.

Explorers for hundreds of years hoped they would discover the Northwest Passage  an all-water route leading from Europe to the Far East through the northern part of the Americas.  Think how awkward that would be  an ocean channel more than 3,000 miles long, snaking across the U.S. and/or Canada, making North Dakota and Saskatchewan into ports.  Just so a bunch of spice merchants would have it easy!
They thought they'd found the Northwest Passage when they sailed into Puget Sound.
