Quotable Quotes Department
"...I soon got used to this singing, for the sailors never
touched a rope without it. Sometimes, when no one happened to strike
up, and the pulling, whatever it might be, did not seem to be getting
forward very well, the mate would always say, 'Come men, can't any
of you sing? Sing now and raise the dead.' And then some one of
them would begin, and if every man's arms were as much relieved
as mine by the song, and he could pull as much better as I did,
with such a cheering accompaniment, I am sure the song was well
worth the breath expended on it. It is a great thing in a sailor
to know how to sing well, for he gets a great name by it from the
officers, and a good deal of popularity among his shipmates. Some
sea captains, before shipping a man, always ask him whether he can
sing out at a rope."
-Herman Melville, Redburn, chapter 9 (1849)
