So. Konstantin Raudive was a Latvian writer who got interested in the voices of ghosts. He would record tapes in a soundproof room, and then play them back and write down whatever words and sentences he thought he heard, presumably in Latvian (?).

William S Burroughs wrote an essay about cut up words and phrases based on his experiences with something called the Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. The essay was called “It Belongs To The Cucumbers”. In it he reproduced excerpts from Raudive’s book “Breakthrough”, including the phrase “Ah good the sea”.

This was then chalked up on a wall on Retreat Lane in York, to the confusion and delight of at least twenty years’ worth of students.

Unless someone has a better explanation.
