"...there lies one insular Tahiti,..." (Herman Melville)

"For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul
of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but
encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life. God keep thee!
Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!"
