No rays from the holy heaven come down On the long night-time of that town; But light from out the lurid sea Streams up the turrets silently— Gleams up the pinnacles far and free— Up domes—up spires—up kingly halls— Up fanes—up Babylon-like walls— Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers—. Up many and many a marvelous shrine Whose wreathed friezes intertwine The viol, the violet, and the vine. excerpt from "The City in the Sea" By E.A Poe
@dyrkness Debussy wrote this piece inspired by a story about the Cathedral of Ys, which sank into the sea and whos bells still can be heard through the sea-mist.
@dyrkness Well Debussy was also a french composer, and the french term "cathédrale engloutie" is closer to meaning a cathedral underwater then one in a fog, just saying (me being a frenchie)

Isao Tomita called it "the Engulfed Cathedral",I believe referring to a Cathedral in fog.
