from The Herman Melville Library · host Herman Melville

In which a restless morning walk upon a misty hillside invites the narrator into deep reflections on life’s precarities and the spirited resilience evoked by the triumphant crowing of a remarkable Shanghai cock. This singular bird’s lively serenade inspires a mood of defiant cheerfulness amid worldly troubles and leads to an earnest quest to discover its proud owner among the neighbouring estates.
