Delight is to him--a far, far upward, and inward delight--who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self. Delight is to him whose strong arms yet support him, when the ship of this base treacherous world has gone down beneath him. Delight is to him, who gives no quarter in the truth, and kills, burns, and destroys all sin though he pluck it out from under the robes of Senators and Judges. Delight,--top-gallant delight is to him, who acknowledges no law or lord, but the Lord his God, and is only a patriot to heaven." Orson Welles' brilliant portrayal of Father Mapple reading from the book of Jonah in the 1956 film version of Melville's novel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DAQ8Az5Gpc&t=151s Moby Dick | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
