"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
16.1.12
37
For it isn't here on this Earth That you now celebrate your birth, But there, in the realm of Heaven, Where you shall be thirty seven.

I only got a chance to know you through the eyes of your sister, therefore I dare to write here and notice your earthly birthday...
