Take off thine eye! More intolerable
Than fiends' glariings is a doltish stare!
So, so; thou reddenest thee anger to glow.
But look ye, Starbucks, what is said in heat,
That thing Missy's itself. These are men
From whom warm words ate small indignity.
I meant not to incense thee. Let it go.
Look! see yonder Turkish cheeks of spotted tawn—
Living, breathing pictures painted by the sun.
The Pagan leopards—the unwreaking and
Unworshippings things, that live; and seek and give
No reasons for the torrid life they feel!
The crew, man, and the crew! Are they not one and all, with Ahab, in this matter of the whale?
~Moby Dick.
