Thoughts about the Sunset

The sea, with a heavenly face, and kissed by the stars,

With haunting conches in unpriced trimmings

In their depths, with a golden dawn,

Flourished by the sun of the combed sunset.

How amazed am I, o you sea, by your holy quietness,

That way, as with erotic joy, affectionately, you caress the pebbles

With an erotic pleasure you are tossed without hurry

And you caress your dress of blue color in a heady way!

And the sober people like emeralds are fragmented,

scattering hither and thither

And the waves get fragmented crowned full of effervescence,

Your breasts, as they tear, they get struck by the lighting,

The mystery is great and unexplained to me.

How do you restrain yourself, O Sea, billowing wildly?

How you don’t cross the boundary,

God has determined?

Ah, were it possible, were I capable,

My anger not burst out in East and West!
