Herman Melville Quotes

So Fare Thee Well, Poor Devil Of A Sub-Sub, Whose Commentator I Am. Thou Belongest To That Hopeless, Sallow Tribe Which No Wine Of This World Will Ever Warm; And For Whom Even Pale Sherry Would Be Too Rosy-strong; But With Whom One Sometimes Loves To Sit, And Feel Poor-devilish, Too; And Grow Convivial Upon Tears; And Say To Them Bluntly, With Full Eyes And Empty Glasses, And In Not Altogether Unpleasant Sadness - Give It Up, Sub-Subs! For By How Much More Pains Ye Take To Please The World, By So Much The More Shall Ye For Ever Go Thankless! Would That I Could Clear Out Hampton Court And The Tuileries For Ye! But Gulp Down Your Tears And Hie Aloft To The Royal-mast With Your Hearts; For Your Friends Who Have Gone Before Are Clearing Out The Seven-storied Heavens, And Making Refugees Of Long Pampered Gabriel, Michael, And Raphael, Against Your Coming. Here Ye Strike But Splintered Hearts Together - There, Ye Shall Strike Unsplinterable Glasses!
