ode to the ocean (tratto da les chants de maldoror di lautréamont)-

if you would have me compare you to the vengeance of god
spread out your livid claws and tear yourself out a pathway in your own bosom…
roll your appalling breakers, hideous ocean, understood by me alone, and
before whose feet i fall prostrate

you are a long breath of sadness
the murmur of your own zephyr, old ocean
passes over the deeply moved soul
leaving indelible scars

you are the symbol of identity
always equal to yourself, old ocean
if your waves are in pace
somewhere lashed into fury

often as i stand watching the ships
while the moon between the masts, old ocean
i ask me which is the deeper
the ocean or the human heart?

you are so powerful that men
have learned this at their own expense, old ocean
they cannot enslave you
they have found their master
tell me whether you are the dwelling-place of the prince of darkness
whether the breath of satan creates the tempests that fling up to the clouds
tell me whether you are the dwelling-place of the prince of darkness
tell me this because i should love to know that h-ll is so close to man

leviathans issued from the hands
the commands of the officers, old ocean
the shrieks of the wounded, the blasts of cannon
you have engulfed everything into your belly

you wander amid your quiet kingdoms
you are proud of your magnificence, old ocean
cradled by the flow of your majestic disturbing
you unfold over your sublime

you are more beautiful than the night
tell me will you be my brother?

oh when you advance
your crest high and terrible, old ocean
surrounded by your tortuous coils
as by a royal court, magnetic and wild

rolling your waves one upon the other
full of the consciousness of what you are, old ocean
hence in the presence of your superiority
my love, ocean
