I have a feeling that my boat
has struck, down there in the depths,
against a great thing.
And nothing
happens! Nothing . . . Silence . . .Waves . . .
- Nothing happens?
Or has everything happened,
and are we standing now, quietly, in the new life?
Juan Ramon Jiminez
1881-1956
‘Oceans’ translated from the Spanish by Robert Bly
