In the Galapagos Islands with Herman Melville, the Encantadas or Enchanted Isles Quotes

“Often ill comes from the good, as good from ill.”

“As we still ascend from shelf to shelf, we find the tenants of the tower serially disposed in order of their magnitude: gannets, black and speckled haglets, jays, sea hens, sperm-whale birds, gulls of all varieties -- thrones, princedoms, powers, dominating one above another in senatorial array; while, sprinkled over all, like an ever-repeated fly in a great piece of broidery, the stormy petrel or Mother Cary's chicken sounds his continual challenge and alarm.”
― Herman Melville, Encatadas
