Abstract

Old English shows an extraordinary richness in terms to refer to the «sea». This richness of vocabulary can only be the result of a close connection to the ocean; but often, that experience acquires a more sublime dimension, since the descriptions of the sea found in poetic texts become what might be called «landscapes of the mind» of great expressive sensitivity and plastic beauty.
