melville-misgivings-2

May 2, 2025
Nature’s dark side is heeded now—
    (Ah! optimist-cheer disheartened flown)—
  A child may read the moody brow
    Of yon black mountain lone.
  With shouts the torrents down the gorges go,
  And storms are formed behind the storm we feel:
The hemlock shakes in the rafter, the oak in the driving keel.

Thought:

“The terror of the unknown — which is also a terror of death and of change — is also the terror of the stranger.”
