There is nothing that needs to be said,
There is nothing that has to be taught,
So full of sorrow and so it is good,
The dark and intimate animal soul. 

It has no need to teach anything,
It cannot speak or quibble at all
And in the form of a young dolphin
It swims on the world's gray squalls. 

--Osip Mandelstam (trans. Alex Cigale)
