“Abominable are the tumblers into which he pours his poison. Though true cylinders without—within, the villainous green goggling glasses deceitfully tapered downwards to a cheating bottom. Parallel meridians rudely pecked into the glass, surround these footpads’ goblets. Fill to t h i s mark, and your charge is but a penny; to t h i s a penny more; and so on to the full glass—the Cape Horn measure, which you may gulp down for a shilling.”
― Herman Melville, Moby Dick
