Save me, O God, for the waters have risen up to my neck. I am sinking in deep mire and there is no ground for my feet. Psalm 69:1-2
As the tide ebbs and flows, Lindesfarn is surrounded by sea twice a day like an island, and twice a day the land dries and joins it to the mainland. The Venerable Bede, d. 753
