full fathom five
Quite a squall at the forty-foot this morning, most of the swimmers swam off the more sheltered pier... except for this chap who hesitated for a bit before plunging in... and his mate who was already lost somewhere in the tempest.The sun even flickered over the scene for a while. They emerged at some stage quite pale looking , an otherworldly look on their faces! We all had to run for cover then, waves suddenly swilling over the rocks...
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them — Ding-dong, bell
[The Tempest ].
