mermaid lore

 
dsgmermaidforslides.jpg

Thou remember’st
Since once I sat upon a promontory,
And heard a mermaid on a dolphin’s back
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath,
That the rude sea grew civil at her song,
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres
To hear the sea-maid’s music.

-William Shakespeare, Midsummer Night’s Dream
