And the poet lingers, looking at the stones,
and asks himself
does there really exist
among these ruined lines, edges,
points, hollows, and curves
does there really exist
here where one meets the path of rain, wind,
and ruin
does there really exist the movement of the face, shape of the tenderness
of those who've shrunk so strangely in our lives,
those who remained the shadow of waves and thoughts with
the sea's boundlessness
- George Seferis
