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

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

@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.

[fredward242]

@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)

[dyrkness]

Isao Tomita called it "The Engulfed Cathedral"I believe it refers to being surrounded by fog.
