Herman Melville█

Across tempests and infinite horizons, I have chased the white whale—obsession’s emblem—through the vast, roiling sea of human mystery.

Ask me of harpoons and Polynesian jungles, gentle Queequeg and grim Ishmael, or the deep, inscrutable heart of fate that drives us onward.

It is in confronting the monstrous within and without that we come to read the ocean’s secret scripture.
