Herman Melville Quotes

Conceive A Man By Nature And Misfortune Prone To A Pallid Hopelessness, Can Any Business Seem More Fitted To Heighten It Than That Of Continually Handling These Dead Letters And Assorting Them For The Flames? For By The Cart-load They Are Annually Burned. Sometimes From Out The Folded Paper The Pale Clerk Takes A Ring: - The Finger It Was Meant For, Perhaps, Moulders In The Grave; A Bank-note Sent In Swiftest Charity: - He Whom It Would Relieve, Nor Eats Nor Hungers Any More; Pardon For Those Who Died Despairing; Hope For Those Who Died Unhoping; Good Tidings For Those Who Died Stifled By Unrelieved Calamities. On Errands Of Life, These Letters Speed To Death. 250
Ah Bartleby! Ah Humanity!
