 The Kraken by Alfred Lord Tennyson Red for LibriVox.org by Clarica 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 and secret cell, Unnumbered and enormous polypie, Winnow with giant arms the lumbering green. There hath he lain for ages, And will lie, battening upon huge seaworms 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.
