"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Happy birthday, Melville.


Herman Melville was born on this date in 1819.

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I’ll go to it laughing.
