Herman Melville Quotes
Often, When Forced From His Hammock By Exhausting And Intolerably Vivid Dreams Of The Night, Which, Resuming His Own Intense Thoughts Through The Day, Carried Them On Amid A Clashing Of Phrensies, And Whirled Them Round And Round In His Blazing Brain, Till The Very Throbbing Of His Lifespot Became Insufferable Anguish; And When, As Was Sometimes The Case, These Spritual Throes In Him Heaved His Being Up From Its Base, And A Chasm Seemed Opening In Him, From Which Forked Flames And Lightnings Shot Up, And Accursed Fiends Beconed Him To Leap Down Among Them; When This Hell In Himself Yawned Beneath Him, A Wild Cry Would Be Heard Through The Ship; And With Glaring Eyes Ahab Would Burst From His State Room, As Though Escaping From A Bed That Was On Fire.
