Moby Dick

Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide
under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden
beneath the loveliest tints of azure. Consider also the devilish brilliance
and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the dainty
embellished shape of many species of sharks. Consider, once more,
the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon
each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began.
Herman Melville - Moby-Dick
