the Sea...

He who looks at the foam speaks of mystery,
but he who looks at the sea is full of wonder.

He who looks at the foam expresses intentions,
but he who looks at the sea makes his heart the
sea.

He who looks at the flakes of foam makes plans,
but he who looks at the sea has no will.

He who
looks at the foam keeps busy, but he who looks
at the sea is totally pure.
