  • The Spouter Inn
    Feb 23 2022
    We finally enter into the Spouter Inn. The first thing that Ishmael describes is a painting on the wall. The care with which he describes it, you'd think he had weeks to ponder. It is of a ship in a storm and a whale about to jump out of the water and impale itself on the ships three dismantled masts ostensibly to complete the wreck of the ship.

  • Biblical and Classical References
    Feb 16 2022
    In Acts 27 when Paul appeals to Caesar in speaking with Festus, the procurator of Judea, he has to go to Rome to stand trial. In his journey from Judea to Rome, from Lycia, the ship encounters this Northeastern wind called Euroclydon in Greek (literally an eastern wave), Euro-aquilo in Latin (northeastern wind). Melville is going to use it seems, every biblical reference to sailing or ships.
