"...descends, the Hydronaut;
who knows the freezing embrace,
of the nameless Abyss;
who carries the weight,
of the limitless depths;
who keeps the company of creatures,
blind and hungry,
who devour the smaller,
and dream not ever of the Sun;
descends, the Hydronaut;
who, alone, hears Triton's song,
and contemplates with shallow breath,
that softest sound of slowest death."

Norton J. Hurph
from: "The Depths"
c 1943
