Left Diptych [Text: and Persephone herself is but a voice or a darkness invisible enfolded in the deeper dark of the arms Plutonic]



Triptych [Text: But what further depreciates the whale as a civilized dish, is his exceeding richness. He is the great prize ox of the sea, too fat to be delicately good. Look at his hump, which would be as fine eating as the buffalo’s (which is esteemed a rare dish), were it not such a solid pyramid of fat. But the spermaceti itself, how bland and creamy that is; like the transparent, half-jellied, white meat of a cocoanut in the third month of its growth, yet far too rich to supply a substitute for butter.]



Right Diptych [Text: Up to this point all in evidence is materialistic, an exhibition of force, of resolution, of brains in the keen sense of the word. It is the joint product of the speculator, the engineer, the builder. // Mummy is become merchandise, Mizraim, cures wounds, and Pharaoh is sold for balsams. // He likes a boggy acre, A floor too cool for corn.]
