"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
28.5.13
Request
Give me a reason
To write of beauty,
But, please, not
As a dreadful duty.
