o’er the wrinkled blue Lo! the sea is fair‚ Smooth as the flow of a maiden’s hair; And the welkin’s light shines through Into mid-sea caverns of beryl hue‚ And the little waves laugh and the mermaids sing‚ And the sea is a beautiful‚ sinuous thing! I scowl in sullen guise The sea grows dark and dun‚ The swift clouds hide the sun But not the bale-light in my eyes‚ And the frightened wind as it flies Ruffles the billows with stormy wing‚ And the sea is a terrible‚ treacherous thing

EK115008S The Deep Sea (2012) It is odd that a planet with 65% of its surface covered by ocean and 57% by 1000+m of deep-sea is called the ‘Earth’. Some 49% of the globe’s surface is 3-6 km below the ocean waves and the average ocean depth is 3.8 km. The deep sea is dark‚ devoid of plants but home to many animals which have been collected on hooks and lines‚ in nets‚ from the stomachs of other deep-sea beasts‚ viewed and photographed from tethered cameras‚ ROVs and deep-sea submersibles.

Sea Animals Sea animals are very helpful to people. They are also unique in their own ways. The world would be completely different without sea animals. My experience of sea animals was when I went to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. In the aquarium‚ I saw many fish that can do cool tricks and live in interesting habitats. One thing I learned about stingray fish is that the eat shrimp and other small fishes. Also‚ the aquarium contained many other animals such as monkeys‚ snakes‚

Sea shells by the sea shore “She sells sea shells by the sea shore” ~ A tongue twister. I was at the beach today. It was a family picnic and my husband‚ his cousins‚ their children‚ their friends‚ their children‚ were all in attendance. Unlike the last one‚ there was less tension in the air‚ but that is another story. The real story is about a seashell. I picked up a seashell by the edge of the waters‚ i.e. ‘by the sea shore’. The picnic was actually a business meeting in disguise but I felt

In the Heart of the Sea What caused an 85 ton Sperm whale to crash into the side of the Essex‚ causing one of the most disastrous and tragic accidents in maritime history? Was this a calculated attack? Did it see the whaling ship as an unwanted rival in its territory? Did the crew of the Essex have anything to do with the whales’ sporadic behavior? Or was this simply an unexplainable act of nature’s unpredictability? On November 20‚ 1820 the crew of the Essex spotted an unusual sight‚ an extremely

Under the Sea University of Under the Sea Overpowering the lands is water. About 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is submerged in water. The Oceans are so massive‚ scientist have only had the opportunity to explore a significantly small portion of it. However‚ the small portion recorded has discovered over 2 million species of marine animals. That is not including the fractions of the animals that live in the unexplored ocean’s floors and surfaces (Science Daily‚ 2011). Besides

Look‚ I dig Ghost Rider. As I said when reviewing the first Ghost Rider movie (one that I still believe holds up as a passable guilty-pleasure) the comic-book antihero’s appeal lies in his darkness‚ his badassery and his extreme heavy-metallitude. That‚ and the motorcycle. Having said that‚ I don’t think most issues of Ghost Rider I pored over as a child were ever actually well written. The story -- of a man who sold his soul to the devil‚ to moonlight as a bounty-hunter by night‚ covered

Atsuki Yamamoto (David) Empathic response on the Whale Rider You are Kahu at the end of the concert when Koro didn’t show up. Write your thoughts. Paka didn’t show up to the concert today. That speech that I gave at the end was for him. I wrote it because I wanted him to know how much I love and admire him‚ but the seat that was reserved for him was empty throughout the whole concert. If only I was a boy‚ Koro would have loved me more than he does. At the beginning of the concert I thought

SEA-FEVER BY JOHN MASEFIELD The poem Sea-Fever by John Masefield‚ depicts a sense of urgency to return to the sea.
