below the thunders of the upper deep,[00:00:15]
far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,[00:00:22]
his ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep[00:00:30]
the kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee[00:00:38]
about his shadowy sides; above him swell[00:00:58]
huge sponges of millennial growth and height;[00:01:07]
and far away into the sickly light,[00:01:14]
from many a wondrous grot and secret cell[00:01:20]
unnumber'd and enormous polypi[00:01:26]
winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.[00:01:34]
there hath he lain for ages, and will lie[00:01:44]
battening upon huge sea-worms in his sleep,[00:01:53]
until the latter fire shall heat the deep;[00:02:02]
then once by man and angels to be seen,[00:02:09]
in roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.[00:02:15]
