Full fathom five thy father lies;Of his bones are

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that does fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.

The Tempest - Shakespeare

Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante,
Had a bad cold, nevertheless
Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe,
With a wicked pack of cards. Here, said she,
Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor,
(Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!)
(The Waste Land, T.S Eliot)

Je m'étais toujours demandé d'où venait ce "Those are pearls that were his eyes" fascinant. Merci.

Et la chanteuse, elle gère. Dans le même genre - Loreena McKennit chante the Lady of Shallot. à écouter.
