"...
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...."
"Ariel's Song" is a verse passage in Scene ii of
Act I of William Shakespeare's The Tempest.
Artist: Arthur Rackham (1867–1939)
