Gustave Caillebotte
The sea
The sea is like love
you get in and you never know if you get out.
How many men wasted their youth—
fatal dives, lethal divings
cramps, wells, unseen rocks,
whirlpools , sharks, medusas.
Alas, how can we quit bathing
if just a few get drοwned.
Alas, how can we betray the sea
cause it has ways to swallow us.
The sea is like love:
Thousands enjoy it - one has to pay
Dinos Christianopoulos
