Explore "Pebbles (Sea Pieces)" by Herman Melville on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I. Though the Clerk of the Weather insist, / And lay down the weather-law, / Pintado and gannet they wist / That the winds blow whither they list / In tempest or flaw.
II. Old are the creeds, but stale the schools, / Revamped as the mode may veer, / But Orm from the schools to the beaches strays / And, finding a Conch hoar with time, he delays / And reverent lifts it to ear.
