A poem:
Diego had never seen the sea.
His father, Santiago Kovaldoff, took him to discover it.
They went south. The ocean lay beyond high sand dunes, waiting.
When the child and his father finally reached the dunes after much walking, the ocean exploded before their eyes.
So immense was the sea and its sparkle that the child was struck dumb by the beauty of it.
And when he finally managed to speak, trembling, stuttering, he asked his father:
“Help me look!”
~Eduardo Galeano, The Book of Embraces (original, in Spanish)
