Below the thunders of the upper deep, Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea, His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee About his shadowy sides; above him swell Huge sponges of millennial growth and height; And far away into the sickly light, From many a wondrous grot and secret cell Unnumbered and enormous polypi Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green. There hath he lain for ages, and will lie Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep, Until the latter fire shall heat the deep; Then once by man and angels to be seen, In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.
By: Lord Alfred Tennyson
This poem just simply describes the mythical beast we know as the Kraken! I love myths, especially the Kraken so that is why I chose the poem. The author talks about where the Kraken is located, and how he acts with the environment around him. I did a research paper on the Kraken so I have an idea of how MASSIVE this creature is. There have been many sightings on the Kraken for centuries, but nobody has every actually filmed it, or anything.
