Current-borne, wave-flung, tugged hugely by the whole might of
ocean, the jellyfish drifts in the tidal abyss. The light shines
through it, and the dark enters it. Borne, flung, tugged from
anywhere to anywhere, for in the deep sea there is no compass but
nearer and farther, higher and lower, the jellyfish hangs and sways;
pulses move slight and quick within it, as the vast diurnal pulses
beat in the moondriven sea. Hanging, swaying, pulsing, it has for its
defense the violence and power of the whole ocean, to which it has
entrusted its being, its going, and its will.
But here rise the stubborn continents. The shelves of gravel and
the cliffs of rock break from water baldly into air, that dry,
terrible outerspace of radiance and instability, where there is no
support for life. And now, now the currents mislead and the waves
betray, breaking their endless circle, to leap up in loud foam against
rock and air, breaking...
What will the creature made all of seadrift do on the dry sand of
daylight; what will the mind do, each morning, waking?
- Ursula K. LeGuin, "The Lathe of Heaven"
