The Tempest

The wise Prospero from Shakespeare's The Tempest. "Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that does fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong, Hark! Now I hear them – Ding-dong, bell."

Your water effect on this is really cool! This and everything else you have here are very well done. I especially like "Elephant". :)
