The secrets of the rock.(III) Τα μυστικά του βράχου.(III) Les secrets de la roche.(III)

Our Nobel Prize winner poet George Seferis, wrote the the following poem about the sea caves.I will try to translate it for you.
Inside the sea caves.

Inside the sea caves
there is a thirst
there is a love
there is an ecstasy,
everything (is) hard like the seashells
you can hold them
in your palm.

Inside the sea caves

for whole days I was looking at you, in your eyes
and I was not recognizing you neither you were recognizing me.

Later, our world famous composer Mikis Theodorakis, (music for the films Zorba the Greek, Serpico, Z and others) made a song with those verses. You can listen to that song at the bottom of this post.
Να θυμηθούμε λίγο τους στίχους του ποιητού μας Γιώργου Σεφέρη.
Μέσα στις θαλασσινές σπηλιές.

Μέσα στις θαλασσινές σπηλιές
υπάρχει μια δίψα υπάρχει μια αγάπη
υπάρχει μια έκσταση,
όλα σκληρά σαν τα κοχύλια
μπορείς να τα κρατήσεις
μες στη παλάμη σου.

Μέσα στις θαλασσινές σπηλιές

μέρες ολόκληρες σε κοίταζα στα μάτια
και δε σε γνώριζα μήτε με γνώριζες.

Στο κάτω μέρος της ανάρτησης, μπορείτε ν' ακούσετε τους στίχους τραγουδισμένους από τον Γρηγόρη Μπιθικώτση, σε μουσική Μίκη Θεοδωράκη.
Notre  poète Georges Seferis (Prix Nobel) a écrit le poème suivant sur les grottes de ​​la mer.Je vais essayer de le traduire pour vous.

A l'intérieur des grottes marines.

A l'intérieur des grottes de la mer

il ya une soif

il ya un amour

il ya une extase,

tout (est) dur comme les coquillages

vous pouvez les tenir

dans votre paume.

A l'intérieur des grottes de la mer

des journées entières, je vous regardais, à vos yeux

et je n'étais pas, vous ne reconnaissant ni vous me reconnaître.

Plus tard, notre célèbre compositeur Mikis Theodorakis, (la musique pour les films de Zorba le Grec, Serpico, Z et autres) a fait une chanson avec ces versets. Vous pouvez écouter cette chanson au bas de ce post.

Olá, amigo!
A poesia é bonita, a música também.
Só um homem com o seu talento e a sua sensibilidade poética seria capaz de capturar tanta beleza natural nessas fotografias.
Aguardo sua visitinha no meu blog.
Beijinhos carinhosos.

I have been here a while, enlarging each photo - it is truly a magical and beautiful place. The underwater rock that splinters light into prisms and multicolored jewels is breathtaking up close!!!

If those cave walls could talk, what would we want to hear?

The colors are spectacular. i have looked at a few waterproof cameras but they don't have a lot of zoom. I have a bag I can put a small one in but rarely use it.
