'At the exact threshold dividing river and ocean there was a striking underwater turbulence - colliding, churning clouds of mud, and a powerful welling-up of silver sand (Galicia is a land of granite) with billions of rock splinters briefly thrown up and catching the sunlight - a kind of curtain drawn between the two realms, a glittering gloom of tide rip between river and ocean, a changing of the guard.'
from Last Pictures?, a piece in Once Again for Thucydides by Peter Handke, translated by Tess Lewis
