Listen to this excerpt of “The Shell” by James

Stephens and imagine the scene he describes.

And straightway like a bell

Came low and clear
The slow, sad murmur of the distant seas,
..............................
And in the hush of waters was the sound
Of pebbles rolling round,
For ever rolling with a hollow sound.
And bubbling sea-weeds as the waters go
Swish to and fro
Their long, cold tentacles of slimy grey.
—from “The Shell” by James Stephens
