…pero Ahab mai no pensa. Tan sols sent, sent, sent… el pensar és audàcia. Tan sols Déu té aquest dret i aquest privilegi. El pensar és o hauria de ser serenitat i calma, i els nostres pobres cors bateguen i els nostres cervells palpiten massa per a això.
Som-hi! Ah de les cofes! Què veis?
– Res capità.
“Ahab never thinks; he only feels, feels, feels, that’s tingling enough for mortal man! To think’s audacity. God only has that right and privilege. Thinking is, or ought to be, a coolness and a calmness; and our poor hearts throb, and our poor brains beat too much for that.”
What do you see?Nothing Captain.
