Lazarus Lived after His Resurrection

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><h1 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name headline" style="text-align: left;"><br /></h1><div style="text-align: left;"><a class="left" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtEjho-NNxyaDctleln2kuARo6gtylC4fmVX9rNzbBh5j_cHpWPaSpp878AF8trOelUdXxjR4u9jirEVt6T-DZPttVirnFLeqwDcb3W3qeuQTVpn5D5ZPGGiJSecepRTl6Oca7ZhZqKKA/s1600/32+%282%29.jpg"><img height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtEjho-NNxyaDctleln2kuARo6gtylC4fmVX9rNzbBh5j_cHpWPaSpp878AF8trOelUdXxjR4u9jirEVt6T-DZPttVirnFLeqwDcb3W3qeuQTVpn5D5ZPGGiJSecepRTl6Oca7ZhZqKKA/s320/32+%282%29.jpg" width="268" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here  then, from three impartial witnesses, I had a deliberate statement of  the entire case. Considering, therefore, that squalls and capsizings in  the water and consequent bivouacks on the deep, were matters of common  occurrence in this kind of life; considering that at the superlatively  critical instant of going on to the whale I must resign my life into the  hands of him who steered the boat—oftentimes a fellow who at that very  moment is in his impetuousness upon the point of scuttling the craft  with his own frantic stampings; considering that the particular disaster  to our own particular boat was chiefly to be imputed to Starbuck's  driving on to his whale almost in the teeth of a squall, and considering  that Starbuck, notwithstanding, was famous for his great heedfulness in  the fishery; considering that I belonged to this uncommonly prudent  Starbuck's boat; and finally considering in what a devil's chase I was  implicated, touching the White Whale: taking all things together, I say,  I thought I might as well go below and make a rough draft of my will.  "Queequeg," said I, "come along, you shall be my lawyer, executor, and  legatee."</div><div style="text-align: left;">It may seem strange that of all men sailors should be  tinkering at their last wills and testaments, but there are no people in  the world more fond of that diversion. This was the fourth time in my  nautical life that I had done the same thing. After the ceremony was  concluded upon the present occasion, I felt all the easier; a stone was  rolled away from my heart. Besides, all the days I should now live would  be as good as the days that Lazarus lived after his resurrection; a  supplementary clean gain of so many months or weeks as the case might  be. I survived myself; my death and burial were locked up in my chest. I  looked round me tranquilly and contentedly, like a quiet ghost with a  clean conscience sitting inside the bars of a snug family vault.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a class="right" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyuwg8CY1cXnPA8j7lh9BjZjoSgtPClO8r7Gp3ZFWP8TnIg5t5ibCRRdnG0ngAFDGbv2wyS6c8RaB9aAgHE9eIF_49CvB_v2z6oG0Q0TmSJJzLz1YLwIYY9k7GuO-0-qcBagRzI_WsJzI/s1600/19.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyuwg8CY1cXnPA8j7lh9BjZjoSgtPClO8r7Gp3ZFWP8TnIg5t5ibCRRdnG0ngAFDGbv2wyS6c8RaB9aAgHE9eIF_49CvB_v2z6oG0Q0TmSJJzLz1YLwIYY9k7GuO-0-qcBagRzI_WsJzI/s1600/19.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now  then, thought I, unconsciously rolling up the sleeves of my frock, here  goes for a cool, collected dive at death and destruction, and the devil  fetch the hindmost.</div><div style="text-align: left;">"Who would have thought it, Flask!" cried  Stubb; "if I had but one leg you would not catch me in a boat, unless  maybe to stop the plug-hole with my timber toe. Oh! he's a wonderful old  man!"</div><div style="text-align: left;">"I don't think it so strange, after all, on that account,"  said Flask. "If his leg were off at the hip, now, it would be a  different thing. That would disable him; but he has one knee, and good  part of the other left, you know."</div><div style="text-align: left;"><blockquote>I don't know that, my little man; I never yet saw him kneel.</blockquote></div><div style="text-align: left;">Among  whale-wise people it has often been argued whether, considering the  paramount importance of his life to the success of the voyage, it is  right for a whaling captain to jeopardize that life in the active perils  of the chase. So Tamerlane's soldiers often argued with tears in their  eyes, whether that invaluable life of his ought to be carried into the  thickest of the fight.</div><div style="text-align: left;">But with Ahab the question assumed a  modified aspect. Considering that with two legs man is but a hobbling  wight in all times of danger; considering that the pursuit of whales is  always under great and extraordinary difficulties; that every individual  moment, indeed, then comprises a peril; under these circumstances is it  wise for any maimed man to enter a whale-boat in the hunt? As a general  thing, the joint-owners of the Pequod must have plainly thought not.</div></div>

Crowding All Sail The Pequod

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><h1 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name headline" style="text-align: left;"><br /></h1><div style="text-align: left;">But how now? in this zoned quest, does Ahab touch no land? does his  crew drink air? Surely, he will stop for water. Nay. For a long time,  now, the circus-running sun has raced within his fiery ring, and needs  no sustenance but what's in himself. So Ahab. Mark this, too, in the  whaler. While other hulls are loaded down with alien stuff, to be  transferred to foreign wharves; the world-wandering whale-ship carries  no cargo but herself and crew, their weapons and their wants. She has a  whole lake's contents bottled in her ample hold. She is ballasted with  utilities; not altogether with unusable pig-lead and kentledge. She  carries years' water in her. Clear old prime Nantucket water; which,  when three years afloat, the Nantucketer, in the Pacific, prefers to  drink before the brackish fluid, but yesterday rafted off in casks, from  the Peruvian or Indian streams. Hence it is, that, while other ships  may have gone to China from New York, and back again, touching at a  score of ports, the whale-ship, in all that interval, may not have  sighted one grain of soil; her crew having seen no man but floating  seamen like themselves. So that did you carry them the news that another  flood had come; they would only answer—"Well, boys, here's the ark!"</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now,  as many Sperm Whales had been captured off the western coast of Java,  in the near vicinity of the Straits of Sunda; indeed, as most of the  ground, roundabout, was generally recognised by the fishermen as an  excellent spot for cruising; therefore, as the Pequod gained more and  more upon Java Head, the look-outs were repeatedly hailed, and  admonished to keep wide awake. But though the green palmy cliffs of the  land soon loomed on the starboard bow, and with delighted nostrils the  fresh cinnamon was snuffed in the air, yet not a single jet was  descried. Almost renouncing all thought of falling in with any game  hereabouts, the ship had well nigh entered the straits, when the  customary cheering cry was heard from aloft, and ere long a spectacle of  singular magnificence saluted us.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a class="right" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRmyduvmgWamo2BNVqcDVvqh_fxp0ycRz9ZFCLHeKI2PeFSn4W1FaMwmDA5mg69pZo9a7ejOLntbeILz6GtDaso1apKwqfZ6Fh9lfy8hm3LLfuu-oW4nI8hr0C2Ee5K5QZSD2SHjSMBP4/s1600/ranfirefly01.jpg"><img height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRmyduvmgWamo2BNVqcDVvqh_fxp0ycRz9ZFCLHeKI2PeFSn4W1FaMwmDA5mg69pZo9a7ejOLntbeILz6GtDaso1apKwqfZ6Fh9lfy8hm3LLfuu-oW4nI8hr0C2Ee5K5QZSD2SHjSMBP4/s400/ranfirefly01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">But  here be it premised, that owing to the unwearied activity with which of  late they have been hunted over all four oceans, the Sperm Whales,  instead of almost invariably sailing in small detached companies, as in  former times, are now frequently met with in extensive herds, sometimes  embracing so great a multitude, that it would almost seem as if numerous  nations of them had sworn solemn league and covenant for mutual  assistance and protection. To this aggregation of the Sperm Whale into  such immense caravans, may be imputed the circumstance that even in the  best cruising grounds, you may now sometimes sail for weeks and months  together, without being greeted by a single spout; and then be suddenly  saluted by what sometimes seems thousands on thousands.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Broad on  both bows, at the distance of some two or three miles, and forming a  great semicircle, embracing one half of the level horizon, a continuous  chain of whale-jets were up-playing and sparkling in the noon-day air.  Unlike the straight perpendicular twin-jets of the Right Whale, which,  dividing at top, fall over in two branches, like the cleft drooping  boughs of a willow, the single forward-slanting spout of the Sperm Whale  presents a thick curled bush of white mist, continually rising and  falling away to leeward.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Seen from the Pequod's deck, then, as  she would rise on a high hill of the sea, this host of vapoury spouts,  individually curling up into the air, and beheld through a blending  atmosphere of bluish haze, showed like the thousand cheerful chimneys of  some dense metropolis, descried of a balmy autumnal morning, by some  horseman on a height.</div><div style="text-align: left;">As marching armies approaching an  unfriendly defile in the mountains, accelerate their march, all  eagerness to place that perilous passage in their rear, and once more  expand in comparative security upon the plain; even so did this vast  fleet of whales now seem hurrying forward through the straits; gradually  contracting the wings of their semicircle, and swimming on, in one  solid, but still crescentic centre.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Crowding all sail the Pequod  pressed after them; the harpooneers handling their weapons, and loudly  cheering from the heads of their yet suspended boats. If the wind only  held, little doubt had they, that chased through these Straits of Sunda,  the vast host would only deploy into the Oriental seas to witness the  capture of not a few of their number. And who could tell whether, in  that congregated caravan, Moby Dick himself might not temporarily be  swimming, like the worshipped white-elephant in the coronation  procession of the Siamese! So with stun-sail piled on stun-sail, we  sailed along, driving these leviathans before us; when, of a sudden, the  voice of Tashtego was heard, loudly directing attention to something in  our wake.</div></div>

But how now? in this zoned quest, does Ahab touch no land? does his crew drink air? Surely, he will stop for water. Nay. For a long time, ...
