Reading Stefan Zweig's "Montaigne" on the beach ...



I'm reading Stefan Zweig's Montaigne whilst sunbathing on the beach - 

A few moments ago, I was swimming in the wild wanton sea - 

Garlands of foam were hanging from my neck - my legs were roped with kelp - 

My body is still tingling - I'm digging my toes into the warm fine sand -

I can hear the sound of the waves -

The tide is out - gulls are flying overhead - 

Jay gave me this book as a present - I am treasuring each page - 

The wind dries my salty hair -

My dark clothes lie heaped up beside me - 

My watch is buried somewhere in the sand -
