| مستخلص: | The 87,000 metric tons of non-biodegradable plastic bits gathering in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch occupy the very zones known in the Age of Sail as the doldrums--the "dead calm," where ships would be stranded for weeks at a time, as famously described in Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner, some of Melville's writings and Lévi-Strauss's Tristes Tropiques. To re-read these texts today is to have the haunting experience of seeing petrochemical debris collect silently, as if retroactively, in the very doldrums that fossil-fuel-powered speed was believed to have transcended.
