Verse 7
Deep calleth unto deep - One wave of sorrow rolls on me, impelled by another. There is something dismal in the sound of the original; קורא תהום אל תהום tehom el tehom kore ; something like "And hollow howlings hung in air." Thompson's Ellenore. Or like Horner's well known verse: -
Βη δπ ' ακεων παρα θινα πολυφοισβοιο θαλασσης .
"He went silently along the shore of the vastly-sounding sea."
Il. i., ver. 34.
