Herman Melville Quote

Implacable I, the implacable sea;
Implacable most when most I smile serene—
Pleased not appeased by myriad wrecks in me.


Pebbles, in John Marr and Other Sailors, 1888


Implacable I, the implacable sea; Implacable most when most I smile serene— Pleased not appeased by myriad wrecks in me.

Implacable I, the implacable sea; Implacable most when most I smile serene— Pleased not appeased by myriad wrecks in me.

Implacable I, the implacable sea; Implacable most when most I smile serene— Pleased not appeased by myriad wrecks in me.

Implacable I, the implacable sea; Implacable most when most I smile serene— Pleased not appeased by myriad wrecks in me.
