Fragments of a Private Iconography of the Sea

Fragments and not extracts. Identifiable bits and pieces, not necessarily regular. Spaces of the imagination rather than tidy parcellings. Here the sea broke against the land of the living and the dead in accordance with the unchanging law of the tides. But it receded and did not carry off all that it had brought. In the live salt and the dead seaweed, it left fragments, odds and ends, flotsam and jetsam, over which the tides no longer have any power or rights. On the rocks and along the shorelines they came to rest; and there, wishing to use them in various ways, maybe for the purposes of some mysterious spell, coasters and inlanders out on a stroll picked them up, these remnants afloat in the stream of time, these shreds like impalpable scrolls.
