Moby Dick by Herman Melville is a literary treasure. This quote is from Moby Dick chapter fourteen when Ismael arrives in Nantucket and, when he observes the stretches of sandy beaches and extreme lack of vegetation, compares it to the rich soil and grassy prairies of Illinois. Sure to bring a smile or chuckle and boost your literary chops.
