Beyond the gardens lurks a moody monster,
a monster sometimes angered, sometimes calm,
a monster rising and then falling back,
a monster that sustains while it destroys,
a monster guarding depths as yet unknown,
a monster deep, mother of mysteries,
the dark and mighty nemesis of Earth,
avenging our ill-treatment of the planet.
Beyond the gardens lies the end of England.
