MELVILLE FACTS:

Melville was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet.

Melville wrote the well known novel, Moby Dick.

Melville lived in New York.

Melville sailed on a least five different ships: The Saint Laurence, Acushnet, The Lucy Anne, The Charles and Henry, and the United States.

Melville moved to Albany after his father, Allen Gansevoort Melville, lost his small business to financial problems.

Melville went to seek fortune at sea in 1839.

Melville married Elizabeth Shaw in 1847.

When Melville's ship docked at one of the Marquesas islands, Melville fled to the jungle to be later greeted and befriended by a native tribe of the island. He stayed there briefly before sailing with an Australian whaler to Tahiti (where, on the boat got the inspiration for Moby Dick). Melville finally reached home in1844.

Melville spent 14 months on a U.S. Navy frigate.

In placid hours well-pleased we dream Of many a brave unbodied scheme. But form to lend, pulsed life create, What unlike things must meet and mate: A flame to melt--a wind to freeze; Sad patience--joyous energies; Humility--yet pride and scorn; Instinct and study; love and hate; Audacity--reverence. These must mate, And fuse with Jacob's mystic heart, To wrestle with the angel--Art. "Art - Poem by Herman Melville." Famous Poets and Poems - Read and Enjoy Poetry//.
