Additional quotes by Herman Melville

Now, had Tashtego perished in that head, it had been a very precious perishing; smothered in the very whitest and daintiest of fragrant spermaceti; coffined, hearsed, and tombed in the secret inner chamber and sanctum sanctorum of the whale. Only one sweeter end can readily be recalled — the delicious death of an Ohio honey-hunter, who seeking honey in the crotch of a hollow tree, found such exceeding store of it, that leaning too far over, it sucked him in, so that he died embalmed. How many, think ye, have likewise fallen into Plato's honey head, and sweetly perished there?

ومثلما أن أطفال الآدميين يحدقون في هدوء وثبات بعيدا عن الثدي وهم يرضعون كأنما يحيون حياتين في آن معا - فبينما هم يمتكون الغذاء الجسدي ما يزالون روحيا يستطيبون ذكريات غير أرضية - كذلك كان يفعل صغار أولئك الحيتان، كانوا كأنما ينظرون نحونا إلى أعلى ولكنهم لا ينظروننا، كأننا عشبة من أعشاب الخليج في أنظارهم الوليدة الحديثة العهد بالنظر.
