如果你聽過海浪聲,你會唔會覺得裏面藏住一啲秘密?🤫
莎士比亞筆下嘅《Ariel’s Song》就係由「空氣精靈 Ariel」唱出的一首歌,描述一個人死後在大海中變成了珊瑚、珍珠、鈴聲與奇幻變化。
讀呢首詩,好似進入咗一個神秘、海洋、魔法混合嘅世界🧜♀️🔱
📖 詩歌原文
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them,—Ding-dong, bell.
