Juan Ramón Jiménez - Oceans

[inthenewlife]

Oceans by Juan Ramón Jiménez (translated by Robert Bly)

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?
