The World below the Brine
(Leaves of Grass- BOOK XIX. SEA-DRIFT, 1855.  Walt Whitman)


The world below the brine,
Forests at the bottom of the sea, the branches and leaves,
Sea-lettuce, vast lichens, strange flowers and seeds, the thick
tangle openings, and pink turf,
Different colors, pale gray and green, purple, white, and gold, the
play of light through the water,
Dumb swimmers there among the rocks, coral, gluten, grass, rushes,
and the aliment of the swimmers,
Sluggish existences grazing there suspended, or slowly crawling
close to the bottom,
The sperm-whale at the surface blowing air and spray, or disporting
with his flukes,
The leaden-eyed shark, the walrus, the turtle, the hairy
sea-leopard, and the sting-ray,
Passions there, wars, pursuits, tribes, sight in those ocean-depths,
breathing that thick-breathing air, as so many do,
The change thence to the sight here, and to the subtle air breathed
by beings like us who walk this sphere,
The change onward from ours to that of beings who walk other spheres.

Mare de Déu Senyor! Però què hi fas aquí arrapada a la roca salabrosa com un musclo? Vigila perque si caus per aquests penyals i et fas un mal tanto el més probable és que se't cruspeixi una foca lleopard de les que es troben de vacances per les nostres aigües, i aleshores sí que passaràs definitivament a transitar per una altra esfera!

Hola Jordis, gràcies pels vostres comentaris, ostres, sembla que esteu sincronitzats!!!
Aquestes roques estan a Palamós, a la punta del Castell, al costat del poblat ibèric. La platja del Castell és un lloc increïble!
molts records!!!
