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. – William Shakespeare (The Tempest, 1610) via Jason DeCaires Taylor and Messy Nessy.

Look, stranger, on this island now The leaping light for your delight discovers, Stand stable here And silent be, That through the channels of the ear May wander like a river The swaying sound of the sea. – W.H. Auden (Look, Stranger! 1936) via NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
