Full Fathom Five

Tuesday 11 June 2019 To honour World Ocean Month, and highlight the need for us to stop our slide into wretched oblivion, here is the first in a beautiful photo series by Faine Pearl Loubser @fainepearl.

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.

William Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act I, Sc. II
