"There's a snake on the western wave,
And his crest is red.
He's as long as a city street,
And he eats the dead.
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea
Where the snake goes down.
And he waits in the bottom of the sea
For the men that drown...."
- Vachel Lindsay, "The Sea Serpent Chantey"
🎨 James W. Buel
