         *“I remember the first albatross I ever saw. . . . At intervals,
it arched forth its vast archangel wings, as if to embrace some holy ark.
Wondrous flutterings and throbbings shook it. Though bodily unharmed, it
uttered cries, as some king's ghost in super natural distress. Through its
inexpressible, strange eyes, methought I peeped to secrets not below the
heavens. As Abraham before the angels, I bowed myself. . . .” *

*—Herman Melville*
