- Al matí, la mar flairava a síndria; a migdia, fumejava, s'arrissava formant lleus ondulacions com pits molt tendres de noia amb prou feines dibuixats; al capvespre, sospirava, color de rosa, de vi, d'albergínia, blau fosc.
- In the morning, the sea smells of watermelon; at midday, it ripples forming slight undulations like very tender breasts barely sketched in; in the evening, it sighs, with the colour of a rose, of wine, of an eggplant, a dark blue.
