Finally getting to meet Moby...

Truly inspiring

I am thankful that God has given me literacy so I can read these romantic gems:

“Where were you then?
Who else was there?
Saying what?
Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly when I am sad and feel you are far away?”

“I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.”

“I no longer love her, that’s certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.”

Amazing.

Reading the early years of this saint’s life breeds a pleasant mixture of fascination and inspiration. Seeing his struggles with judgment, searching for the balance between patriotism for country and citizenship of heaven, and even reading of his early acts of devotion are awe-inspiring with a pinch of “I’m the same age he was then; could I also live this way?”

“And here, shipmates, is true and faithful repentance; not clamorous for pardon, but grateful for punishment” (Moby Dick 36).

I love this quote from Father Mapple

Surprisingly gripping opener
