MOBY-DICK 8: THE PULPIT

"From thence it is the God of breezes fair or foul is first invoked for favorable winds."
—from chapter 8 of Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, "The Pulpit"

---

A pulpit shaped as the prow of a ship, meant to weather the Word of the Lord, "the meat and wine of the word."

---

A great short chapter that acts as bridge between "The Chapel" and "The Sermon."
