Description
Under a low and sullen sky,
Frowned on by lone winds that moan by
And palely sick for light from high
Till the landscape's soul doth sigh forever,
Forever sigh,
A black and calmness-haunted river,
That doth a town from itself sever,
Runs with an inner fear and shiver
Like a dim fate forever nigh,
Nigher forever.

Ay, through that landscape lapsed from dream
Into a horrid truth doth gleam
That self-absorded, self-empty stream
That bears a dream of dream's emotion
To emotion's dream -
Runs from a land whence is no notion
Towards a possible far ocean;
And they, whose eyes anguished sans motion
Bath in it, emotion's dream
For dream's emotion.

Fernando Pessoa

It´s another text related to the sea and its power... Thank you UmbraDiscipulus for this one.
