But endeavour to surge and wrestle with the sea. 1310

Desire the water of a jewel, become a jewel!

Be an ear-drop, adorn a beauty!

Oh, expand thyself! Move swiftly!

Be a cloud that shoots lightning and sheds a flood of rain!

Let the ocean sue for thy storms as a beggar, 1315

Let it complain of the straitness of thy skirts!

Let it deem itself less than a wave

And glide along at thy feet!
