Yeah sorry, I just thought it was so similar that it may be.
If you're not quite sure of the quote - it could be

Timbuctoo - by Alfred Lord Tennyson which has the lines

Visit his eyes with visions, and his ears
With harmonies of wind and wave and wood,
-- Of winds which tell of waters, and of waters...

"Beneath the wind turned wave
Infinite peace
Islands join hands
'Neathe heaven's sea."

Carl Jung described the collective unconscious with two metaphors. One is as a chain of islands which appear to be separate above the surface of the ocean but are really connected below sea level.

In the Hindu view, our individual egos are like islands in a sea: We look out at the world and each other and think we are separate entities. What we don't see is that we are connected to each other by means of the ocean floor beneath the waters.

"....but in the waves and underneath there's no volition,
no hypocrisy, just love forming and unfolding."

- Say I Am You
Rumi
