the sea ...

i remember watching an adaptation of robinson crusoe years and years ago.
i thought it was a 70s production but my google research tells me it was most likely luis buñuel's 1954 film.
there is a scene where robinson crusoe is haranguing friday, being strict and prim and a gentleman of his times. soon after there is a scene where friday is on the beach, singing to himself,

the sea is a woman,
and i swim in the sea ...

the sea is a woman, and i swim in the sea ...

this has stayed with me for well over 20 years. i loved it. i loved its cheekiness and irreverance and sensuality, and straight up sexuality.

i was reminded of this again when i saw this ring, here
and i thought, yes, that's right, my love for p is strong like the sea
i would like to wear a ring of love (a badge of honour) saying as much.
i love pxxx
