Clarke makes us see that it is not onlz us who are in the “ocean’s lap” but the “cormorants in his funeral silk… the dugong and the dolphins‚” and something as massive as the whale; they are the ones suffering from the destruction of the lap‚ which is caused by humans‚ according to the writer. He uses these animals to make us realize that innocent creatures also are under the care of nature
