Extrait : "Ta demeure est au bord des océans antiques, Maître ! Les grandes Eaux lavent tes pieds mystiques. Sur ta face divine et ton dos écumant L'abîme primitif ruisselle lentement. Tes cheveux qui brûlaient au milieu des nuages, Parmi les rocs anciens déroulés sur les plages, Pendent en noirs limons, et la houle des mers Et les vents infinis gémissent au travers. Sûryâ ! Prisonnier de l'ombre infranchissable"
