"My Life With the Wave" Octavio Paz (1951)
This story is about a man who has a wave as a companion. Maybe it is to deep, maybe it was written in Spanish and lost something in translation, but outside the well described relationship with and the personality of the wave, I do not see any correlation to any other subject. I thought maybe he was using the wave as a metaphore for a woman, but clearly he is describing a wave.

I did not like this story, but it did have the quality of evoking thought.
