Typee Chapter 20
from The Herman Melville Library · host Herman Melville
In which an unvaried day among the gentle Typees unfolds with tranquil rituals from dawn bathing in cool streams to leisurely meals, punctuated by congenial labours and the artful passing of tobacco pipes. The quiet hours yield to the entrancing moonlit dances of marvellous young maidens and the convivial gathering of warriors, all embraced within the slow, somnolent cadence of island life.
