Today we had a Sea Change

[Pudlugger]

Where does this expression come from?

Shakespeare The Tempest:

The phrase is a quotation from Shakespeare. It comes from Ariel’s wonderfully evocative song in 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 doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.

opps my bad, I meant Today...

Just thought you would appreciate this. It is interesting, and most folks missed it in AP English. Just wanted to get you out on a new limb for a change. Random I guess.:D
