six feet in height,with noble shoulders,and a chest like a coffer dam. I have seldom seen such brawn in a man. His face was deeply brown and burnt, making his white teeth dazzling by the contrast;while in the deep shadows of his eyes floated some rem
ETYMOLOGY. (Supplied by a Late Consumptive Usher to a Grammar School) The pale Usher hreadbare in coat,heart,body,and brain;I see him now.He was ever dusting his old lexicons and grammars,with a queer handkerchief,mockingly embellished with all the g
So fare thee well,poor devil of a Sub Sub,whose commentator I am.Thou belongest to that hopeless,sallow tribe which no wine of this world will ever warm;and for whom even Pale Sherry would be too rosy strong;but with whom one sometimes loves to sit,a
CHAPTER 1 Loomings. 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
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. But here is an artist.He desires to pai
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 tak
But BEING PAID,what will compare with it?The urbane activity with which a man receives money is really marvellous, considering that we so earnestly believe money to be the root of all earthly ills,and that on no account can a monied man enter heaven.

rather weary for me,when I struck my foot against the flinty projections,because from hard, remorseless service the soles of my boots were in a most miserable plight.Too expensive and jolly, again thought I,pausing one moment to watch the broad glare
It stood on a sharp bleak corner, where that tempestuous wind Euroclydon kept up a worse howling than ever it did about poor Paul's tossed craft. Euroclydon, nevertheless, is a mighty pleasant zephyr to any one in doors, with his feet on the hob quie
CHAPTER 3.The Spouter Inn. Entering that gable ended Spouter Inn,you found yourself in a wide,low, straggling entry with old fashioned wainscots,reminding one of the bulwarks of some condemned old craft. On one side hung a very large oilpainting so t
And that harpoonso like a corkscrew nowwas flung in Javan seas,and run away with by a whale, years afterwards slain off the Cape of Blanco.The original iron entered nigh the tail, and,like a restless needle sojourning in the body of a man,travelled f
I sat down on an old wooden settle,carved all over like a bench on the Battery. At one end a ruminating tar was still further adorning it with his jack knife, stooping over and diligently working away at the space between his legs. He was trying his
I 'll break it for him,said I,now flying into a passion again at this unaccountable farrago of the landlord's. It's broke a'ready,said he. Broke,said IBROKE,do you mean? Sartain,and that's the very reason he can not sell it,I guess. Landlord,said I,g
The devil fetch that harpooneer,thought I,but stop,could not I steal a march on himbolt his door inside,and jump into his bed, not to be wakened by the most violent knockings?It seemed no bad idea;but upon second thoughts I dismissed it. For who coul
Men, said the little prince, set out on their way in express trains, but they do not know what they are looking for. 那些人们,他们往快车里拥挤,但是他们却不知道要寻找什么。 Then they rush about, and get excited, and turn
This water was indeed a different thing from ordinary nourishment. 这水远不只是一种饮料, Its sweetness was born of the walk under the stars, the song of the pulley, the effort of my arms. 它是披星戴月走了许多路才找到的,是在
I don't know how to draw anything except boa constrictors from the outside and boa constrictors from the inside. 我过去只会画开着肚皮和闭着肚皮的巨蟒。 Oh, that will be all right, he said, children understand. 啊!这就行了。他
