Empujan, en fin, vientos de libertad marina a la poesía de Rafael Alberti llevándola a explorar todos los espacios de la historia, de la mitología o de la experiencia humana: ''Yo te miraba, oh Cádiz, bahía de los mitos / ... / Canas de antigüedad, tus estelares fábulas, / tus solares historias, / oh gaditano mar de los perdidos / Atlantes, vesperales jardines de la espuma, / islas desvanecidas del Ocaso!'' Los pobres pescadores que salen del Guadalete hacia el mar son los mismos que arribaban a Tarsis en busca de oro y plata y estaño. El mar resume la historia y el mar compendia el sueño. ¿Qué escenario mejor podría soñarse para el encuentro amoroso de Venus y Príapo que el escenario del mar de Cádiz? Uno de los más formidables poemas amorosos de la literatura universal, de ese Diálogo entre Venus y Príapo, acontece en esa bahía: "Amor! La noche se desvae. / Nos baña el mar. (Oh luz!. El mundo canta. / Cae la luna... El viento...)"
