I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.

― Carsten Jensen, We, the Drowned
“For in tremendous extremities human souls are like drowning men; well enough they know they are in peril; well enough they know the causes of that peril;--nevertheless, the sea is the sea, and these drowning men do drown.”
― Herman Melville, Pierre Or The Ambiguities
