Goodbye Ireland 🇮🇪 Hello Germany 🇩🇪

Faith and “knowledge” are only two species of inner certitude, but of the two faith is the older and it dominates all the conditions of knowing, be they never so exact. And thus it is theories and not pure numbers that are the support of all natural science.

all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast, and all that road going, all the people dreaming in the immensity of it . . .
#Kerouac24 #OntheRoad

I looked up out of the dark swirl of my mind and I knew I was on a bed eight thousand feet above sea level, on a roof of the world, and I knew that I had lived a whole life and many others in the poor atomistic husk of my flesh, and I had all the dreams.

For #MelvilleMonday

Thanks to my name is nobody

'Sloped on the hill the mounds were green,
Our centre held that place of graves,
And some still hold it in their swoon,
And over these a glory waves.'
- from Melville's 'Gettysburg'

Moby-Dick (135)

But who can tell — he muttered — whether these sharks swim to feast on the whale or on Ahab?

Happy #MelvilleMonday

Moby Dick ist ein Roman von Herman Melville, in dem es hauptsächlich um Feminismus geht. Die Crew des Walfangschiffs Pequod besteht ausschließlich aus Männern, deren toxische Vorstellung von Maskulinität
letztlich ihr Untergang ist. #MelvilleMonday #KathrinPassig #EsterSeiyffarth

'...to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.' 🐋 #MelvilleMonday

With a fair, fresh wind, the Pequod was now drawing nigh to these straits; Moby-Dick, Chapter 87.

Shadow dwellers, we;
Unseen, unheard, adrift - yet
Somewhere, a beacon.

“But I have swam through libraries and sailed through oceans; I have had to do with whales with these visible hands; I am in earnest; and I will try.”

— Moby-Dick (Ch. 32, “Cetology”)

vergeet me niet
monday monday morning
it's #MelvilleMonday 🐳

Popped by Burton Constable Hall & Grounds near #Hull last week to say hi to their sperm #whale skeleton mentioned in #MobyDick . The whale washed up on the Holderness shore 199 years ago this month.

*whispers* may be plotting things for next year…

“I would prefer not to,” said he.

Bartleby, The Scrivener
by Herman Melville

As I walked home in a pensive mood, my vanity got the better
of my pity. I could not but highly plume myself on my masterly
management in getting rid of Bartleby.
