“Credo che il mio corpo sia soltanto la feccia del mio essere migliore” cit. da di .

mi dice che 187 lettori hanno evidenziato questa frase 😳
Trovo questa cosa inquietante 😵 passerò i prossimi minuti a cercare di capire come si disattiva!!!

'I finally read “Moby-Dick,” and was delighted to find that it abounds with mathematical metaphors. I realized further it’s not just Herman Melville; Leo Tolstoy writes about calculus, James Joyce about geometry.’

This…

“…whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off—then, I account it high time tozz get to sea as soon as I can.”

- but in an exuberant way and recording, not sailing.☔️

Claire Denis loosely adapts Melville's Billy Budd- a story about the human desire to destroy something pure and beautiful, with a sensual, languid imagery. Arid, rocky Djibouti backdrop clashes with smooth, muscular bodies of young Legionnaires as they carry on their boring daily routines with no real enemies in sight. Galoup, a seasoned military man takes an immediate dislike to a beautiful, righteous new recruit Sentain and looks for excuses to destroy him. His feelings are mixture of desire, jealousy and envy. It's Lavant's physicality on full display here. His pockmarked face and athleticism dominate the screen. I thought Galoup's narration was unnecessary at first since it doesn't add anything much to the plot. Then again, Denis has little concerns for that. On this viewing, I can see how it accentuates Galoup's loneliness and isolation. The ending is definitely my favorite movie ending of all time.

“‘Great God! but for one single instant show thyself,” cried Starbuck; “never, never wilt thou capture him, old man- In Jesus’ name no more of this, that’s worse than devil’s madness.'"

“‘What is it, what nameless, inscrutable, unearthly thing is it; what cozening, hidden lord and master, and cruel, remorseless emperor commands me; that against all natural lovings and longings, I so keep pushing, and crowding, and jamming myself on all the time… Is Ahab, Ahab? Is it I, God, or who, that lifts this arm?"(545).

Defiance as Worship. Ahab is aware of the futility of his defiance and that it is even a form of worship because it recognizes the omnipotence of the object of defiance.

All calms and storms pass into one another:

“Loveliness unfathomable… Tell me not of thy teeth-tiered sharks, and thy kidnapping cannibal ways. Let faith oust fact; let fancy oust memory; I look deep down and do believe.”

Everything Half Known
“In the soul of man,” Herman Melville wrote, in one of his terrifying flights of prophecy in Moby-Dick, “there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life.” Cast off from that protected world, he’d gone on, and “thou canst never return!” But the h

Hey @paulcatiang this is DHLawrence's chapter on Moby Dick in his Studies on Classic American Literature

(i honestly prefer DH Lawrence as an essayist than a novelist; for me, somehow his ridiculous style, which is tedious in his fiction, is a riot in his essays)

Ahab's all too sane insanity finding purchase in his soul with Pole, Iron, and Rope.

is about dark obsession, a love story that's quite similar to his earlier films, just without whimsical romanticism. It's not the graphic sex scene that differentiate it as a more mature work. Although it features beautiful young actors - at his most dashing & a dangerous beauty, , among them, being young is never verbalized or beholden to. For once, it’s not about first love.
