Sssh says the ocean
Sssh says the small wave at the shore - sssh
not so violent, not
so proud, not
so remarkable.
Sssh
says the surf
crowding round the outcrops,
washing the shore. Sssh,
they say to people,
this is our Earth,
our eternity.
Rolf Jacobsen (1907-1994)

In still moments by the sea
life seems large-drawn and simple.
It is there we can see into ourselves.

How long is the way
I asked the wind:
Tell me
you flying fugitive,
how long is still the way
between east and west -
And the wind answered:
as long as the way
from one man to another.
Anna Skeide (1910-1980)

Breakers scouring the stones
Mosaic of stone in their wake
Water and weight of stone
Earth’s own elementary language
Helge Torvund

The white sound of an angry sea
Surging all around
Swells in great rebellious crests
And rages at the sky
With resounding NOs!
With a resounding YES!
Helge Torvund

Then all the droplets surge headlong
into one great stream:
11
Rush! Gush! Smash!
A water revolution!

There are no footprints on the sea
and no road signs, not a single
guard stone or post, and no
bends, only paths of light and dark
from which to choose, the choice is always
a difficult navigation
and the storm’s wingspan as immeasurable
as the depths and the horizon, but
the sea holds you in its mighty hand
your life is a sea-blue tale
of love and death.
Åse-Marie Nesse (1934-2001)

Time of idleness! All words
and actions die away: No breath of wind
has leave to stir the evening’s limpid fjord.
There’s a stillness of summer skerries in your soul,
where sounds and inlets lie in gleaming calm
capturing the promise of the twilight lull.
André Bjerke (1918-1985)

Nothing is so boundless as the sea,nothing so patient.
On its broad back it bears, like a good-natured elephant, the puny little creatures who
17
inhabit the Earth;and in its vast cool depths
it has place for all mortal woes.
Alexander Kielland (1849-1906)

To stand near rocks
and grow
in wind and light
To live just
as one is
in wind and light.

Flaws are needed in the rock-face
if you’re going to climb it.
Cracks for fingertips and toes,
for bolts and hooks.
Ledges for hammers.
Holds for ropes.
You’ll never get a step further
in unblemished rock.
Arvid Hanssen (1932-1998)
