Common sense isn't.
| Quote of the moment |
| Through the port comes the moon-shine astray! It tips the guard’s cutlass and silvers this nook; But ‘twill die in the dawning of Billy’s last day. A jewel-block they’ll make of me to-morrow, Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly— O, ‘tis me, not the sentence they’ll suspend. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. poet, novelist. Billy Budd, Foretopman (l. 4–10). . . Selected Poems of Herman Melville. Hennig Cohen, ed. (1991) Fordham University Press. ~ |
