Alone
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.
The Tempest, Act I, Scene 2
Shakespeare
"What did I know, what did I know
of love's austere and lonely offices?"
