I don't care if Atlantis was real, is real or was a Science Fiction morality tale by Plato; I adore the concept! Undersea exploration done by ships that Verne imagined, and submersible robots he did not even imagine, have given us a much different and even more fascinating conundrum from the one Verne and other Romantic Writers conceived of. Reality has revealed it is not a case of, "are there sunken cities and civilizations?" But instead, "which of the multitudes discovered is the original Atlantis, if any?!"
Far below the Islands of Green Earth
Neath billowing waves
And splashing foam
In Lands of green so dark and damp
There playful Dolphins roam:
Lived Peoples of the Aqua World
Where turquoise glints in brilliant hues
As common as the ivory towers
With Octopussys in their mews
Yes! Once lived an ancient Race'
Fore Earth and foam both
Danced and twist!
Now hear this haunting 'frain of Songs
From long gone Islands in green mists!
Songs of Spirits in the Wind!
Smell spices in gone treasure troves!
This place beneath the foaming seas
Where long dead,
Ancient Warriors rove!
This few hunt for or seek to find:
This place before the Dawns of Time!
This place of Corals and drowned Rush
The place we call Lost Atlantis.
