"Oh, man! admire and model thyself after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, live in this world without being of it. Be cool at the equator; keep thy blood fluid at the Pole. Like the great dome of St. Peter's, and like the great whale, retain, O man! in all seasons a temperature of thine own."
Herman Melville, Moby Dick
6.11.11
Feast
I cannot stand people; That may be a vice, But they eat and drink, And I pay the price.
