The opening of the text introduces Hartwig's passion for the ocean, likening it to the admiration one might have for majestic mountains or serene landscapes. It sets the stage for further exploration by discussing the enormity and significance of the sea, outlining its physical geography, the concept of tides, and how they reflect celestial influences.
