The sea foams and bubbles. Gray white bleak everywhere.
Chasms and mountains. Water… only water! And nothing to absorb it all!
Other shattering shock. Brief look round of the chief. The needle progresses unperturbed.
First the sonar!
Water Diving and silver in the depths, lift up to the light and ice. Gaëlle Rouard is at the helm of the ship. Followed her gaze.

For the cold winter, the pouring rain, the short wavy, the violent storm, the early frost or something like that, if the fall of the leaves is late, if the smoke rises straight, if it falls, if the leaves swirling or if the dust makes the vortex, if the frogs repeated to the swamps their monotonous complaint, and when the prevailing winds become favorable.

Knok Knok Knok
Awake Awake
Ring the alarum bell
Up, up and see.
Knok Knok Knok
Shake of this downy sleep : confusion now hath made his masterpiece,
and damned be him that first cries ’hold, enough’
Knok Knok
Who’s there in the name of Beelzebub ?
Ring the bell !
-such a hideous trumpet-
Knok Knok – never at quiet
what are you ? Who’s there in the other devil’s name ?
Arm Arm and out !
As from your graves rise up
-and look on death itself-
