Herman Melville Quotes

So, With His Ivory Leg Inserted Into Its Accustomed Hole, And With One Hand Firmly Grasping A Shroud, Ahab For Hours And Hours Would Stand Gazing Dead To Windward, While An Occasional Squall Of Sleet Or Snow Would All But Congeal His Very Eyelashes Together. Meantime, The Crew Driven From The Forward Part Of The Ship By The Perilous Seas That Burstingly Broke Over Its Bows, Stood In A Line Along The Bulwarks In The Waist; And The Better To Guard Against The Leaping Waves, Each Man Had Slipped Himself Into A Sort Of Bowline Secured To The Rail, In Which He Swung As In A Loosened Belt. Few Or No Words Were Spoken; And The Silent Ship, As If Manned By Painted Sailors In Wax, Day After Day Tore On Through All The Swift Madness And Gladness Of The Demoniac Waves.
