Please help me think of this phrase!!!

So, I found a really good phrase online that I’d like to use in my coursework, but don’t want to plagiarise. It was...
‘A ______ island amidst an _____ ocean’. I’m trying to think of a similar phrase, where I say how one thing was so microscopic in the grand scheme of things, but my mind has gone blank!

Thank you.

Thank you! But sorry, I meant changing the words ‘island’ and ‘ocean’. It was a ‘Catholic island amidst an Anglican ocean’ and the phrase really wowed me idk why, but I’m not sure how to tweak it 😂

Ohhh sorry I thought the ‘gaps’ were what you wanted to fill🤣
Something like a grain of sand on a beach? Or a single cell in the human body? Planet in the universe?
