Abstract

I return to the ocean and into its ground[....]the fish, what does it do? What sort of new water-senses does it have, that we air and earth creatures do not feel? Can they not be analogically discovered? If a human being is ever to become aware of magnetic force then it would be a blind man who can only hear and feel, or more a man bereft of sight, hearing, smell and taste, who could only feel. What sort of senses does a fish have? In the twilight of the water it sees, in the heavy air it hears; in its thick shell the oyster feels[. .. . ]As wave breaks into wave, so the air undulations and sounds flow into each other. The sensuousness of the water-world is as water is to air in hearing and seeing!2
