"Ombak pecah dan menyebarkan air mereka dengan cepat ke pantai. Satu demi satu mereka berkumpul dan jatuh; semprotan itu melemparkan dirinya kembali dengan energi kejatuhan mereka. Ombaknya berwarna biru tua kecuali pola intan di punggung mereka yang beriak ketika punggung kuda-kuda besar bergoyang-goyang dengan otot ketika bergerak. Ombak jatuh; mundur dan jatuh lagi, seperti bunyi cap binatang besar."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The waves broke and spread their waters swiftly over the shore. One after another they massed themselves and fell; the spray tossed itself back with the energy of their fall. The waves were steeped deep-blue save for a pattern of diamond-pointed light on their backs which rippled as the backs of great horses ripple with muscles as they move. The waves fell; withdrew and fell again, like the thud of a great beast stamping.
