About This Quote

I was stunned by her beauty and beauty of her honest depths. Her eyes were like the sudden plunge to blue depths beyond a continental shelf. This is a great description of her eyes and their beautiful color. A continental shelf is an underwater feature with high relief which is created when the continental crust has been eroded away, leaving only the very top of the crust exposed.

A continental shelf can also be referred to as a continental slope, which refers to the same thing but in a geomorphological context (the study of landforms and landforms). Blue depths beyond a continental shelf is an idiomatic phrase that means something bad has happened and there is no way out of it or that no one can help you in your situation.
