For the life of me I can't think of which PKD novel this'd be.  I just dug

Eye in the Sky

A Maze of Death
Clans of the Alphane Moon
Counter-Clock World
Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said
The Ganymede Takeover
The Simulacra
The Game-Players of Titan
The Crack In Space  (featuring the afore-mentioned George Walt)
Solar Lottery
The World Jones Made
A Scanner Darkly
Valis
Radio Free Albemuth 
Puttering About In a Small Land
Mary and the Giant
The Transmigration of Timothy Archer
Vulcan's Hammer
Our Friends from Frolix 8

...The poet is dead.
Nor will ever again hear the sea lions 
Grunt in the kelp at Point Lobos.
Nor look to the south when the grunion 
Run the Pacific, and the plunging
Shearwaters, insatiable, 
Stun themselves in the sea.
