The ribs and terrors in the whale

Arched over me a dismal gloom,

While all God’s sun-lit waves rolled by,

And lift me deepening down to doom.

‘I saw the opening maw of hell,

With endless pains and sorrows there;

Which none but they that feel can tell—

Oh, I was plunging to despair.

— H. Melville

We are two mariners, our ships' sole survivors

In this belly of a whale

Its ribs our ceiling beams, its guts our carpeting

I guess we have some time to kill

I guess he had a whale of a time!

I'd like to see you make that distinction when a 50 foot 30 ton beast is coming right at you

How sure will you be then?

The water about me rose to my neck,

for the deep was closing over me;

seaweed twined about my head

at the roots of the mountains;

I was sinking into a world

whose bars would hold me fast for ever.
