    Bobbing by Ahab’s whaleboats in the East.”

    “The welcome house of him my dearest guest.
    Where ever, ever stay, and go not thence,
    Till natures sad decree shall call thee hence;
    Flesh of thy flesh, bone of thy bone,
    I here, thou there, yet both but one.”
    —Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
