Let it be known that the flood were inspired by a passage in William Shakespeare's Hamlet. As follows...
Act 1, Scene 5
What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord?
Or to the deadful summit of the cliff
That beetles over his base into the sea
And there assume some other horrible form
Which might deprive your sovereighty of reason
And draw you into madness? Think of it.
[The very place puts toys of desperation,
without more motive, into every brain
that looks so many fathoms to the sea
And hears it roar beneath]
-Horatio commenting on The Flood
