"Thou canst blind, but I can then grope. Thou canst consume, but I can then be ashes!" You bet. "Take the homage of these poor eyes, and shutter-hands. I would not take it…" Ahab ranted on. Fallon hardly gave a damn anymore. The book was too much. Ahab talked to the storm and the God behind it; the storm answered him back, lightning flash for curse. It was dramatic, stagy; it was real: Melville's universe was created so that such dialogues could take place; the howling gale and the tons of water, the crashing waves, flapping canvas, the sweating, frightened men, the blood and seawater—all were created to have a particular effect, to be sure, but it was the real universe, and it would work that way because that was the way it was set up to work by a frustrated, mystified man chasing his own obsessions, creating the world as a warped mirror of his distorted vision.

In the middle of that night he went to talk to Ahab, who slept in one of the hatchways as he had the night before. The carpenter was making him another leg, wooden this time, and Ahab was curled sullenly in the dark lee of the afterscuttle. Fallon did not know whether he was waiting or asleep.

цитата

Плотник покуда мастерил Ахаву из перебитого киля его вельбота новую ногу; а между тем сам капитан, как и накануне, всю ночь недвижно простоял у себя на пороге; и его скрытый под опущенной шляпой взор, точно гелиотроп, был повернут в нетерпении на восток, навстречу первым лучам солнца.

It was time. Fallen, shaking with anger and fear, drew the knife from behind him and leapt at the old man. In bringing up the blade for the attack he hit it against the side of the narrow hatchway. His grip loosened. Ahab threw up his hands and, despite the difference in age and mobility between them, managed to grab Fallon's wrist before he could strike the killing blow. Instead, the deflected cleaver struck the beam beside Ahab's head and stuck there. As Fallen tried to free it, Ahab brought his forearm up and smashed him beneath the jaw. Fallen fell backward, striking his head with stunning force against the opposite side of the scuttle. He momentarily lost consciousness.

Same day, late afternoon.—The ice on the lagoon has melted! Only a few mimic floes remain, and these are fast dwindling away. This appears incredible in view of the piercing cold, and yet I must believe my eyes. A very curious smell, somewhat like the dampened fur of an animal, hangs faintly but perceptibly over the place. To the touch the water is warm and slightly oily; but its taste is so utterly vile that I see with regret that it can never substitute for melted snow.
