Page 178

          The distant horizon 

          an ancient painting 


          Black vultures on the rocks 

          in wild disorder 


          The faces of the fishermen are sweet 

          and strong bent over the nets 


          - There is silence even in the wind - 


          And palm trees and boats 

          and the ancient eyes full of salt 

          they look at the sea...

And in the silence I suddenly knew.

I knew that Old Ernest is looking at the sea. The old man and the sea... There is something that I am living with him...

No, it is not raindrops that slipped into my eyes. They were tears. Because I finally understood.
