The back-swell now smooth in the rudder-chains,

Black snout of a porpoise

where Lycabs had been,

Fish-scales on the oarsmen.

And I worship.

I have seen what I have seen.

When they brought the boy I said:

“He has a god in him,

though I do not know which god.”

And they kicked me into the fore-stays.

I have seen what I have seen:

Medon’s face like the face of a dory,

Arms shrunk into fins. And you, Pentheus,

Had as well listen to Tiresias, and to Cadmus,

or your luck will go out of you.

Fish-scales over groin muscles,

lynx-purr amid sea...

And of a later year,

pale in the wine-red algae,

If you will lean over the rock,

the coral face under wave-tinge,

Rose-paleness under water-shift,

Ileuthyeria, fair Dafne of sea-bords,

The swimmer’s arms turned to branches,

Who will say in what year,

fleeing what band of tritons,

The smooth brows, seen, and half seen,

now ivory stillness.
