Kripke comments:

"Actually, a sentences like the above:

Socrates is called "Socrates"

is a very interesting and one can spend hours talking about their analysis.
I actually did, once, do that. See how high the seas of language can rise.
And  at the lowest points too.

JL helpfully implies that M. Dummett's The Seas of Language gets its title from a a line in Kripke's Naming and Necessity. (It might; Dummett may not have seen the phrase anywhere else.)

However, '(See how high the seas of language run here!)' occurs in §194 of the Philosophical Investigations.
