epa05593700 A handout picture provided by Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Snapper party, Tony Wu, US Winner, underwater category For several days each month, thousands of two spot red snappers gather to spawn around Palau in the western Pacific Ocean. The action is intense as the fish fill the water with sperm and eggs, and predators arrive to take advantage of the bounty. Noticing that the spawning ran ‘like a chain reaction up and down the mass of fish’, Wu positioned himself so that the action came to him. On this occasion, with perfect anticipation, he managed to capture a dynamic arc of spawning fish amid clouds of eggs in the oblique morning light.

Giuseppe Ungaretti: Ritorno

Trinano le cose un'estesa monotonia di assenze
Ora è un pallido involucro
L'azzurro scuro delle profondità si è franto
Ora è un arido manto
 
Return
 
Things weave a vast monotony of absences
Now it is a pallid shell
The dark azure of the deeps shatters
Now it is an arid mantle

Giuseppe Ungaretti (1888-1970): Ritorno (Return), from Allegria di naufragi (Joy of shipwrecks), 1919; English by Allen Mandelbaum, in Life of a Man, 1958
