The Blues, Canto XV, "The Testimony of the Earth and Sea"
Oriol asks for a way mankind can escape their fate foretold in the Oracle of the Buried.
The heart of the planet
is made of iron
and knows nothing of life.
It speaks through fire
and pools of magma.
Sometimes it laughs
at its own unknowable jokes,
erupting in volcanoes
and earthquakes.
The sea is full of life,
it speaks through the hearts
and lungs of whales.
It sings love songs to men
and is spurned with spears
and poison.
