Herman Melville Quotes

And How Nobly It Raises Our Conceit Of The Mighty, Misty Monster, To Behold Him Solemnly Sailing Through A Calm Tropical Sea; His Vast, Mild Head Overhung By A Canopy Of Vapor, Engendered By His Incommunicable Contemplations, And That Vapor- As You Will Sometimes See It- Glorified By A Rainbow, As If Heaven Itself Had Put Its Seal Upon His Thoughts. For D'ye See, Rainbows Do Not Visit The Clear Air; They Only Irradiate Vapor. And So, Through All The Thick Mists Of The Dim Doubts In My Mind, Divine Intuitions Now And Then Shoot, Enkindling My Fog With A Heavenly Ray. And For This I Thank God; For All Have Doubts; Many Deny; But Doubts Or Denials, Few Along With Them, Have Intuitions. Doubts Of All Things Earthly, And Intuitions Of Some Things Heavenly; This Combination Makes Neither Believer Nor Infidel, But Makes A Man Who Regards Them Both With Equal Eye.
