Oceans

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 Ramón Jiménez (translated by Robert Bly)
