Considering that you're another Ocean Fan, have you ever heard of Charles Kingsley's "The Water Babies" before?

There's a Live-Action/Animated Hybrid Adaptation from the 70s in case if you're interested.

I’ve read the book. It was weird but kinda cute. Might check out the 70s adaptation. Live action/Animated hybrids were all the rage in the 60s-70s it seems.

Thanks!

First, a little grass slope, covered with the prettiest flowers, rock-rose and saxifrage, and thyme and basil, and all sorts of sweet herbs.

Ironically, the Most Strangest Part of the Entire World that we all live in is that while Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" is so widely popular than Charles Kingsley's "The Water Babies", Kingsley actually had influenced Carroll's BFF (George MacDonald) which lead to many inspirations behind Many Authors that we all know of today like C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and even Madeleine L'Engle.

Just let that sink and rot in your Brain for a Moment, Literature Fans.

Wherever is love and loyalty, great purposes and lofty souls, even though in a hovel or a mine, there is fairyland.

Sometimes today we sloppily bracket 'atheist' and 'agnostic' together, as if they meant the same thing. The newly minted word in Darwin's time had a more precise meaning, 'not knowing'. That this should not be confused with the word 'atheist', is made clear by Darwin himself in a letter to John Fordyce of 1879; he wrote this:

It seems to me absurd to doubt that a man may be an ardent theist and an evolutionist. You are right about [Charles] Kingsley. Asa Gray, the eminent [American] botanist, is another case in point.... In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God.

So Darwin, on his own account was never an atheist, but fluctuated between theism and agnosticism.

~ John Marsh

I once had a sweet little doll, dears, The prettiest doll in the world; Her cheeks were so red and white, dears, And her hair was so charmingly curled. But I lost my poor little doll, dears, As I played in the heath one day; And I cried for her more than a week, dears, But I never could find where she lay. I found my poor little doll, dears, As I played in the heath one day; Folks say she is terribly changed, dears, For her paint is all washed away, And her arms trodden off by the cows, dears, And her hair not the least bit curled; Yet for old sakes' sake, she is still, dears, The prettiest doll in the world.

("The Lost Doll" by Charles Kingsley)

'But Men Must Work and Women Must Weep', 1883 by Walter Langley. Penlee House Gallery & Museum, Penzance, Cornwall

"The Three Fishers" is a poem and a ballad written in 1851. The original poem was written by English poet, novelist, and priest Charles Kingsley. It was first set to music by English composer John Hullah shortly thereafter. Robert Goldbeck also set it to music in a version published in 1878.

"Three fishers went sailing out into the West, Out into the West as the sun went down; Each thought on the woman who lov’d him the best; And the children stood watching them out of the town; For men must work, and women must weep, And there's little to earn, and many to keep, Though the harbour bar be moaning.

Three wives sat up in the light-house tower, And they trimm’d the lamps as the sun went down; They look’d at the squall, and they look’d at the shower, And the night wrack came rolling up ragged and brown! But men must work, and women must weep, Though storms be sudden, and waters deep, And the harbour bar be moaning.

Three corpses lay out on the shining sands In the morning gleam as the tide went down, And the women are weeping and wringing their hands For those who will never come back to the town; For men must work, and women must weep, And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep And good-by to the bar and its moaning"
