"Oceans" by Juan Ramón Jiménez,
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?
"Oceans" by Juan Ramón Jiménez,

Neither lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius. - Mozart
