Let me snuff thee up, sea breeze! and whinny in thy spray. Forbid it, sea god! intercede for me with Neptune, O sweet Amphitrite, that no dull clod may fall on my coffin! Be mine the tomb that swallowed up Pharaoh and all his hosts; let me lie down with Drake where he sleeps in the sea. -Herman Melville, White Jacket, 1850 |
