The ocean waves broke one by one

And I was alone with the sand and the foam

Of the sea that was singing just for me.

 

Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen in Dia do Mar (1947) from Obra Poética (Assírio & Alvim, 2015)

 

A poem by Sophia de Mello Breyner

“When I die I will return to seek
The moments I did not live by the sea.”

Sophia De Mello Breyner
