A Sea-Change Into Something Rich and Strange

...and then in dreaming
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
I cried to dream again.
~ William Shakespeare, The Tempest

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.
~ William Shakespeare, The Tempest

I was thinking recently that it was time for a new film version of The Tempest, and the next day I heard that there was one coming out. That's a nice surprise! In honor of the new movie (with Helen Mirren!), we have Tempestuous stuff today.
