The depth closed me round about.
Jonah ii. 5.
But now thou dost thyself immure and close
In some one corner of a feeble heart.
Herbert.
A closed sea, a sea within the jurisdiction of some particular nation, which controls its navigation.
Close, v. i. 1. To come together; to unite or coalesce, as the parts of a wound, or parts separated.
What deep wounds ever closed without a scar?
Byron.
