Did everyone else get old too, or was it just you? Are other people still here, hiding in the palm trees or holding their breath underwater? When did you last swim your laps? Do your bones hurt? Did you know this was coming and hide that you knew, or did it ambush you from behind?

He's been doing this since wages were paid in Spanish doubloons (which coincidentally are now mostly found underwater).

Kennedy's going down and he's taking the party with him! (Recognize the pattern?)

But apart from our obviously self-interested proclamations, there is nothing morally valuable per se about human intelligence.

  • 'Everything beautiful occurs when the body / is suspended,' Helena Mesa quotes a performance artist who hangs his own pierced body in the air.

Horse Dance Underwater is an inventive, musical, and powerful debut.

  • Still in my coat and hat, I sank onto the stair to read the letter. (I never read without making sure I am in a secure position. I have been like this ever since the age of seven when, sitting on a high wall and reading The Water Babies, I was so seduced by the descriptions of underwater life that I unconsciously relaxed my muscles. Instead of being held buoyant by the water that so vividly surrounded me in my mind, I plummeted to the ground and knocked myself out. I can still feel the scar under my fringe now. Reading can be dangerous.)

    Diane Setterfield (2007). “The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel”, p.4, Simon and Schuster
  • I'm trying to paint an underwater ocean scene. It's just not working. My queen angelfish is supposed to have these bright yellow eyes and electric-blue stripes along the edge of her fin. Instead, it looks like I'm trying to paint a fried egg with some blue bacon. Maybe I can pass it off as postmodern.
