Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mardi, Vol. 1 of 2: And a Voyage Thither We are off! The courses and topsails are set; the coral-hung anchor Swings from the bow: and together the three royals are given to the breeze, that follows us out to sea like the baying of a hound. Out spreads the canvas - alow, aloft - boom stretched, on both sides, with many a stun sail; till like a hawk, with pinions poised, we shadow the sea with our sails, and reelingly cleeve the brine. But whence and whither wend ye, mariners? We sail from Ravavai, an isle in the sea, not very far northward from the tropic of Capricorn, not very far westward from Pitcairn´s island, where the mutineers of the Bounty settled. At Ravavai I had stepped ashore some few months previous; and now was embarked on a cruise for the whale, whose brain enlightens the world.
