The Wild Waves of the Deep Sea

The deep sea upturned tremendous billows which appeared to reach so near the heaven they touched the heavy clouds with foam of their tossed waters. The ship was tossed about in the wild storm aloft as from a mountain peak it seemed to look down on the valley and the depth of achiron. Even the waves fell on the sides with a crash as terrible as when a flying stone or iron ram shatters a citadel. Vast sheets of rain pour from dissolving clouds so suddenly it seemed that all the heavens were flung into the deep while swelling seas ascended to the emptied fields of heaven.
