Incipits: Melville, The Bell-Tower



In the south of Europe, nigh a once frescoed capital, now with dank mould cankering its bloom, central in a plain, stands what, at distance, seems the black mossed stump of some immeasurable pine, fallen, in forgotten days, with Anak and the Titan.


Herman MELVILLE, The Bell-Tower, 1855.
