From Deep Charybdis Depths
old, aeolian rauks! a rugged cliffy coast... foamy splash of the sea azure in tumult, uproarious tide! tentacular visions i behold from deep Charybdis depths... the eyestalks of giant ocean-snails broadcast watery apocalypse a halatinous parching of viperfish throats murmur thick vibrations from abyssal floor......
