The Little Mermaid and the Sea Witch

The little mermaid slipped out of her father's castle unnoticed while everything inside was merriman and song. She went to the world of the sea witch where there were no flowers or sea grass only the bare gray sandy bottom stretched on toward the maelstroms which like roaring mill wheels whirled around and dried everything that came their way down to them. In between these crushing whirlpools she had to go into the depths in between these crushing Whirlpools.
