Herman Melville Quotes

But, As In His Narrow-flowing Monomania, Not One Jot Of Ahab's Broad Madness Had Been Left Behind; So In That Broad Madness, Not One Jot Of His Great Natural Intellect Had Perished. That Before Living Agent, Now Became The Living Instrument. If Such A Furious Trope May Stand, His Special Lunacy Stormed His General Sanity, And Carried It, And Turned All Its Concentred Cannon Upon Its Own Mad Mark; So That Far From Having Lost His Strength, Ahab, To That One End, Did Now Possess A Thousand Fold More Potency Than Ever He Had Sanely Brought To Bear Upon Any One Reasonable Object.
