"'God bless ye and have ye in His holy keeping, men,' murmured old Bildad, almost incoherently. 'I hope ye'll have fine weather now, so that Captain Ahab may soon be moving among ye - a pleasant sun is all he needs, and ye'll have plenty of them in the tropic voyage ye go. Be careful in the hunt, ye mates. Don't stave the boats needlessly, ye harpooneers; good white cedar plank is raised full three per cent within the year. Don't forget your prayers, either...Don't whale it too much a' Lord's days, men; but don't miss a fair chance either, that's rejecting Heaven's good gifts.'" ~Chapter 22, Moby-DickMy brother sent me a link to this great blog that is also artistically inspired by Melville's masterpiece. Matt Kish, the man writing the blog has vowed to make one drawing for every page of MOBY-DICK, using the words on the given page to inspire his work. He's up to page 112. Check it out; inspiration is inspiring.
This is the link.
