Innumerable living things Even of unknown species Thrive on the body of the dead That lie on the seabed - The carcass of the giant whale, They enter into it and come out Of their shelter paramount, It is their food Source of their life on earth; Death is the cause of their birth. From the dead rises the living Living thing kisses the dead One death gives birth to Innumerable living things ad arbitrium; Life and Death hug each other ad infinitum.
