"Whenever
I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp drizzly
november in my soul... Whenever I find myself involuntarily passing before
coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially
whenever my hypos get such an upper hand on 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 to get to sea as soon as I can."
Herman Melville in Moby Dick
If a woman
sees a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, she will marry a sailor.
If she sees a sparrow, she will marry a poor man and be very happy.
If she sees a goldfinch, she will marry a millionaire.
