Chapter XIII
The gull has found her place on shore; The sun gone down again to rest; And all is still but ocean's roar; There stands the man unbless'd. But see, he moves--he turns, as asking where His mates? Why looks he with that piteous stare? Dana. Superstition would seem to be a consequence of a state of being, in which so much is shadowed forth, while so little is accurately known.
