Mardi Volume 2 Chapters LXVI - LXX
from The Herman Melville Library · host Herman Melville
In which a serenely calm noon beckons Yoomy to enchant the company with a flowing, triple-voiced song, amidst lively debates on the nature of poetic inspiration and philosophy; then the party ventures into a gloomy wood to seek the wise Doxodox, whose abstruse dialectics confound even the keenest minds before he abruptly dismisses them. Thereafter, as twilight falls and the lagoon lies becalmed, a ghostly encounter with mysterious canoes preludes their landing on the Isle of Cripples, where the textures of strange social custom and curious companionship with a sagacious chimpanzee unfold under King Media’s watchful, dreaming eye.
