Over the sea, a cloud / By the sea, a silvery ship / In the sea, a yellow fish / At the bottom of the sea, blue algae // Near the shore, a man / naked / motionless / pondering // To be a cloud / or a ship? / To be a fish / or algae? // No, my boy: / What one needs to be, is the sea / with its cloud and its vessel, its fish and its algae.
