kilka pamiątek, tak na ostateczne podsumowanie wakacji.
Grecja - Tripiti
'before my eyes was a horrible monster, worthy to figure in the legends of the marvelous. it was an immense cuttle-fish, being eight yards long. it swam crossways in the direction of the Nautilus with great speed, watching us with its enormous staring green eyes. its eight arms, or rather feet, fixed to its head, that have given the name of cephalopod to these animals, were twice as long as its body, and were twisted like the furies' hair. one could see the 250 air-holes on the inner side of the tentacles. the monster's mouth, a horned beak like a parrot's, opened and shut vertically. its tongue, a horned substance, furnished with several rows of pointed teeth, came out quivering from this veritable pair of shears. what a freak of nature, a bird's beak on a mollusc! its spindle-like body formed a fleshy mass that might weigh 4000 to 5000 lbs.; the varying colour changing with great rapidity, according to the irritation of the animal, passed successively from livid grey to reddish brown. what irritated this mollusc? no doubt the presence of the Nautilus, more formidable than itself, and on which its suckers or its jaws had no hold. yet, what monsters these poulps are! what vitality the Creator has given them! what vigour in their movements! and they possess three hearts!'
J. Verne, 'Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea'
