“I have no ‘stories’ to tell. Breakining the surface of the sea, raoming in the deep waters of the Ocean, going down slowly, eyes open , watching the flicker of mullet, and the dance of the sea-bream, the butterflies of these liquid skies: this does not make up a “story”.
But if I do have stories, but if I do know stories, I have peraps lived a miracle, one which I want to talk about. I have travelled to another world I which “action is sister to the dream”. I have swept away in the heart of the sea, at a depth of several fathoms, all my anxieties as a man. Worries of the moment, scientific curiousity, metaphysical doubts, have all been hurled into the sea and I do not regret any of them.”
