about

"Nous étions enfin arrivés à la lisière de cette forêt, sans doute l’une des plus belles de l’immense domaine du capitaine Nemo. Il la considérait comme étant sienne, et s’attribuait sur elle les mêmes droits qu’avaient les premiers hommes aux premiers jours du monde. D’ailleurs, qui lui eût disputé la possession de cette propriété sous-marine ? Quel autre pionnier plus hardi serait venu, la hache à la main, en défricher les sombres taillis ?"
20 000 Lieues sous les mers, Jules Verne, chapitre "La forêt sous-marine".

"Ce qu'il y a de plus profond en l'homme, c'est la peau." Paul Valéry, L'Idée fixe.

A musical homage to Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh's descent into the Challenger Deep on january, 23, 1960 ; a reflection on the notions of surface and depth.
