CHAPTER 1. Loomings. | |
</h2> | |
<p> | |
Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having | |
little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on | |
shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of | |
the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the | |
circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever | |
it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself | |
involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear | |
of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an | |
upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me | |
from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking | |
people's hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon | |
as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical | |
flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. | |
There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men | |
in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings | |
towards the ocean with me. | |
</p> | |
<p> | |
There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves | |
as Indian isles by coral reefs—commerce surrounds it with her surf. | |
Right and left, the streets take you waterward. Its extreme downtown is | |
the battery, where that noble mole is washed by waves, and cooled by | |
breezes, which a few hours previous were out of sight of land. Look at the | |
crowds of water-gazers there. | |
</p> | |
<p> | |
Circumambulate the city of a dreamy Sabbath afternoon. Go from Corlears | |
Hook to Coenties Slip, and from thence, by Whitehall, northward. What do | |
you see?—Posted like silent sentinels all around the town, stand | |
thousands upon thousands of mortal men fixed in ocean reveries. Some | |
leaning against the spiles; some seated upon the pier-heads; some looking | |
over the bulwarks of ships from China; some high aloft in the rigging, as | |
if striving to get a still better seaward peep. But these are all | |
landsmen; of week days pent up in lath and plaster—tied to counters, | |
nailed to benches, clinched to desks. How then is this? Are the green | |
fields gone? What do they here? | |
</p> | |
<p> | |
But look! here come more crowds, pacing straight for the water, and | |
seemingly bound for a dive. Strange! Nothing will content them but the | |
extremest limit of the land; loitering under the shady lee of yonder | |
warehouses will not suffice. No. They must get just as nigh the water as | |
they possibly can without falling in. And there they stand—miles of | |
them—leagues. Inlanders all, they come from lanes and alleys, | |
streets and avenues—north, east, south, and west. Yet here they all | |
unite. Tell me, does the magnetic virtue of the needles of the compasses | |
of all those ships attract them thither? | |
</p> | |
<p> | |
Once more. Say you are in the country; in some high land of lakes. Take | |
almost any path you please, and ten to one it carries you down in a dale, | |
and leaves you there by a pool in the stream. There is magic in it. Let | |
the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries—stand | |
that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead | |
you to water, if water there be in all that region. Should you ever be | |
athirst in the great American desert, try this experiment, if your caravan | |
happen to be supplied with a metaphysical professor. Yes, as every one | |
knows, meditation and water are wedded for ever. | |
</p> | |
<p> | |
But here is an artist. He desires to paint you the dreamiest, shadiest, | |
quietest, most enchanting bit of romantic landscape in all the valley of | |
the Saco. What is the chief element he employs? There stand his trees, | |
each with a hollow trunk, as if a hermit and a crucifix were within; and | |
here sleeps his meadow, and there sleep his cattle; and up from yonder | |
cottage goes a sleepy smoke. Deep into distant woodlands winds a mazy way, | |
reaching to overlapping spurs of mountains bathed in their hill-side blue. | |
But though the picture lies thus tranced, and though this pine-tree shakes | |
down its sighs like leaves upon this shepherd's head, yet all were vain, | |
unless the shepherd's eye were fixed upon the magic stream before him. Go | |
visit the Prairies in June, when for scores on scores of miles you wade | |
knee-deep among Tiger-lilies—what is the one charm wanting?—Water—there | |
is not a drop of water there! Were Niagara but a cataract of sand, would | |
you travel your thousand miles to see it? Why did the poor poet of | |
Tennessee, upon suddenly receiving two handfuls of silver, deliberate | |
whether to buy him a coat, which he sadly needed, or invest his money in a | |
pedestrian trip to Rockaway Beach? Why is almost every robust healthy boy | |
with a robust healthy soul in him, at some time or other crazy to go to | |
sea? Why upon your first voyage as a passenger, did you yourself feel such | |
a mystical vibration, when first told that you and your ship were now out | |
of sight of land? Why did the old Persians hold the sea holy? Why did the | |
Greeks give it a separate deity, and own brother of Jove? Surely all this | |
is not without meaning. And still deeper the meaning of that story of | |
Narcissus, who because he could not grasp the tormenting, mild image he | |
saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was drowned. But that same image, | |
we ourselves see in all rivers and oceans. It is the image of the | |
ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key to it all. | |
</p> | |
<p> | |
Now, when I say that I am in the habit of going to sea whenever I begin to | |
grow hazy about the eyes, and begin to be over conscious of my lungs, I do | |
not mean to have it inferred that I ever go to sea as a passenger. For to | |
go as a passenger you must needs have a purse, and a purse is but a rag | |
unless you have something in it. Besides, passengers get sea-sick—grow | |
quarrelsome—don't sleep of nights—do not enjoy themselves | |
much, as a general thing;—no, I never go as a passenger; nor, though | |
I am something of a salt, do I ever go to sea as a Commodore, or a | |
Captain, or a Cook. I abandon the glory and distinction of such offices to | |
those who like them. For my part, I abominate all honourable respectable | |
toils, trials, and tribulations of every kind whatsoever. It is quite as | |
much as I can do to take care of myself, without taking care of ships, | |
barques, brigs, schooners, and what not. And as for going as cook,—though | |
I confess there is considerable glory in that, a cook being a sort of | |
officer on ship-board—yet, somehow, I never fancied broiling fowls;—though | |
once broiled, judiciously buttered, and judgmatically salted and peppered, | |
there is no one who will speak more respectfully, not to say | |
reverentially, of a broiled fowl than I will. It is out of the idolatrous | |
dotings of the old Egyptians upon broiled ibis and roasted river horse, | |
that you see the mummies of those creatures in their huge bake-houses the | |
pyramids. | |
