How to find you, maybe by your singing
A weird trail of notes in the water
One white whale in all these oceans
One white whale

Slipping through the nets of silence
Under polar Ice-Caps miles down
You leave your echoes in the water
One white whale in all these oceans
One white whale.

Listen: Laurie Anderson - One White Whale

“Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure. Consider also the devilish brilliance and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the dainty embellished shape of many species of sharks. Consider, once more, the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began.

Consider all this; and then turn to the green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half-known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!”

Herman Melville

Did the whale have a bearded fellow on it’s back repeatedly sticking a harpoon in it while muttering and damning the whale to perdition?

The Japanese can harpoon whales “for scientific study”. Why haven’t the Japanese whalers been notified? /s

Hell's hot? Did you grow up in Boston like my girlfriend did. She talks just like that.

(Fortunately for me, she's sweet about putting up with my occasional good-natured ribbing about her accent.)

Yes, I am aware of that. It's a very famous quote.

But it's not "From Hell's hot . . . ."

The quote is "From Hell's heart. . . ."
