At the base of the mainmast,
full beneath the doubloon and the flame, the Parsee was kneeling in Ahab’s front, but with his head bowed away from him; while near by,
from the arched and overhanging rigging, where they had just been engaged securing
a spar, a number of the seamen, arrested
by the glare, now cohered together, and
hung pendulous, like a
knot of numbed
wasps
from a drooping,
orchard twig. In various
enchanted attitudes, like the standing, or stepping,
or running skeletons in Herculaneum, others remained rooted
to the deck; but all their eyes upcast.
