"You know they say there is a submerged town a the bottom of this lake, and that on Midsummer's Night at twelve o'clock one can hear the pealing of its church bells." ..."And I think," he went on, "that at the bottom of our Don Manuel's soul there is also a submerged, drowned city, and that sometimes the pealing of its bells can be heard."
-Miguel de Unamuno
