"The law of gravity becomes complex under water, but it is not beyond our comprehension."
--Honor Frost,
Under the Mediterranean
(One of my favorite quotations--from a favorite book which I've written about here and here.)

My favorite word--garsecg--from the Old English Beowulf is a kenning or poetic riddle-word for the sea. It means "the spear-man," perhaps the echo of a figure like the Norse Aegir or some other surly northern Neptune. In other texts, garsecg seems to be an adjective meaning "sea-like," "stormy" or "tempestuous."
