  EXTRACTS

  ��Supplied by a Sub´Sub´Librarian��



  It will be seen that this mere painstaking burrower and grub´worm of

a poor devil of a Sub´Sub appears to have gone through the long

Vaticans and street´stalls of the earth�察�picking up whatever random

allusions to whales he could anyways find in any book whatsoever��

sacred or profane。 therefore you must not�察�in every case at least��

take the higgledy´piggledy whale statements�察�however authentic�察�in

these extracts�察�for veritable gospel cetology。 Far from it。 As

touching the ancient authors generally�察�as well as the poets here

appearing�察�these extracts are solely valuable or entertaining�察�as

affording a glancing bird's eye view of what has been promiscuously

said�察�thought�察�fancied�察�and sung of Leviathan�察�by many nations and

generations�察�including our own。

  So fare thee well�察�poor devil of a Sub´Sub�察�whose commentator I

am。 Thou belongest to that hopeless�察�sallow tribe which no wine of

this world will ever warm�察�and for whom even Pale Sherry would be

too rosy´strong�察�but with whom one sometimes loves to sit�察�and feel

poor´devilish�察�too�察�and grow convivial upon tears�察�and say to them

bluntly�察�with full eyes and empty glasses�察�and in not altogether

unpleasant sadness´ Give it up�察�Sub´Subs� �For by how much more pains

ye take to please the world�察�by so much the more shall ye for ever

go thankless� �Would that I could clear out Hampton Court and the

Tuileries for ye� �But gulp down your tears and hie aloft to the

royal´mast with your hearts�察�for your friends who have gone before are

clearing out the seven´storied heavens�察�and making refugees of long

pampered Gabriel�察�Michael�察�and Raphael�察�against your coming。 Here ye

strike but splintered hearts together´ there�察�ye shall strike

unsplinterable glasses��
