_
Pierre or the Ambiguities
For in tremendous extremities human souls are like drowning men; well enough they know they are in peril; well enough they know the causes of that peril;--nevertheless, the sea is the sea, and these drowning men do drown.

Pierre or the Ambiguities
Pierre little foresaw that this world hath a secret deeper than beauty, and Life some burdens heavier than death.
book-quote
Herman Melville
_
Pierre or the Ambiguities
From without, no wonderful effect is wrought within ourselves, unless some interior, responding wonder meets it. That the starry vault shall surcharge the heart with all rapturous marvelings, is only because we ourselves are greater miracles, and superber trophies than all the stars in universal space.
