Touched by the songs of love of debris
Scuttled to embrace thy song thy maze
And was I sea- born to hold your vase."

The next one is molded in a typical style: rolled, curved and turned in the shape of S. Just imagine what a long
process of the sea brought this beautiful shapes before us to adorn our imagination with the rampant art of the
passionate one.
