... And so were born, oh Cadiz, white
Aphrodite amid the waves.
Levantandas the mists of the ocean, could you in your mirrors
contemplate the most beautiful girl appeared
between sea and sky of the West. You brought in your hands
Phoenician
olives and a necklace to Tarshish, for your powerful
silver throat.
It will open your eyes, reclining on her forehead and
you were rich, the greedy
fishing in the wind tended
Our Sea, victorious, his name.
(Rafael Alberti, Ora maritima)
