Full Fathom Five

coral_reef.jpg

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:
Hark, now I hear them - ding-dong bell.

              — Ariel,   The Tempest, I.ii
