Mardi Volume 1 Chapter 47 - Yillah, Jarl, and Samoa
from The Herman Melville Library · host Herman Melville
In which the mystic Yillah, untouched by prejudice, gently tames the formidable Samoa, while his reverence towards her mirrors a primeval awe; yet the steadfast Jarl views her with wary suspicion, his rugged faith emblazoned upon his arm bewildering the unworldly maiden. Thus, amidst this trio’s varied regards—ranging from playful to profound—Melville paints a subtle tableau of human nature’s diverse and tender complexities.
