Common sense isn't.
Quote of the moment |
Hardly have we mortals by long toilings extracted from this worlds vast bulk its small but valuable sperm; and then, with weary patience, cleansed ourselves from its defilements, and learned to live here in clean tabernacles of the soul; hardly is this done, whenThar she blows!the ghost is spouted up, and away we sail to fight some other world, and go through young lifes old routine again. |
~ Herman Melville (18191891), U.S. author. Moby-Dick (1851), ch. 98, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 6, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1988). Referring to the quest for sperm oil. ~ |
