THESE WERE THE SYMBOLS (II)

Estas algas eran los símbolos de aquellos fantásticos y fabulosos pensamientos que todavía no han entrado en las cuevas protegidas de la literatura

"Ever drifting, drifting, drifting
          On the shifting
     Currents of the restless heart,"
 And not yet "in books recorded
          They, like hoarded
     Household words, no more depart."(*)
