The document discusses the kraken, a legendary sea monster of giant squid-like appearance. It describes the kraken's ancient and undisturbed sleep at the bottom of the sea, where it lies in the darkness feeding on sea worms. According to the poem, the kraken will one day rise up from the depths when fire heats the sea, to be seen by man and angels before roaring on the surface and dying. The document then goes on to discuss cryptozoology, sightings of giant squids and krakens throughout history, theories of kraken evolution, diversity and intelligence, and the influence of krakens on popular culture.

1. The Kraken Rises - by dr sea rotmann

2. Below the thunders of the upper deep;
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides: above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumbered and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages and will lie
Battening upon huge sea-worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.
