    The poem describes a melancholy scene of waters lying resignedly beneath the sky. The turrets and shadows of the town blend together so that everything appears suspended in the air. Death looks down gigantically from a proud tower in the town submerged beneath the sea.

    Resignedly beneath the sky

    The melancholy waters lie.


    So blend the turrets and shadows there
    That all seem pendulous in air,
    While from a proud tower in the town
    Death looks gigantically down.

    Edgar Allan Poe, City Beneath the Sea
