For some reason I am having trouble responding to Claudia's post-so here is my response as a new post:
Love it..somehow it seems very literary...women in water, diving, swimming -- these sexual allusions to women in poetry seem ripe for mixing with technical jargon...plus there is Shakespeare & Pollock's "Full Fathom Five" which are about men and manliness of a sort..?
Full Fathom Five
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
