...We must not imagine that there is nothing at the bottom of the sea but bare yellow sand. No, indeed; the most singular flowers and plants grow there; the leaves and stems of which are so pliant, that the slightest agitation of the water causes them to stir as if they had life. Fishes, both large and small, glide between the branches, as birds fly among the trees here upon land. In the deepest spot of all, stands the castle of the Sea King. ("Little Mermaid" Hans Christian Andersen(1836))
"Everything you look at
can become a fairy tale
and you can get a story
from everything you touch" - Hans Christian Andersen
