You can not hide the soul...
How can you not love Queequeg? And although this is a 19th century novel written before the civil war, Queequeg is no stereotypical nobel savage...he's a real guy--a really amazing one--but a real guy nonetheless...he's also Ishmael's friend and hero and mentor...
"a spirit that would dare a thousand devils...a man who never cringed and never had a creditor...Entirely at ease, preserving the utmost serenity; content with his own companionship; always equal to himself."
Oh, and I loved Sarah's post on the importance of friendship and the yummy, intriguing openness that shared darkness prior to sleep provides.
Should we all be so lucky to go to bed "at peace with our own consciences and all the world."
