Herman Melville Quote

I do not think I have any uncharitable prejudice against the rattlesnake, still, I should not like to be one.


The Confidence-man: His Masquerade (ed. 1857)


I do not think I have any uncharitable prejudice against the rattlesnake, still, I should not like to be one.

I do not think I have any uncharitable prejudice against the rattlesnake, still, I should not like to be one.

I do not think I have any uncharitable prejudice against the rattlesnake, still, I should not like to be one.

I do not think I have any uncharitable prejudice against the rattlesnake, still, I should not like to be one.
