A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XXXVII
The cabin; by the stern windows; Ahab sitting alone, and gazing out. I leave a white and turbid wake; pale waters, paler cheeks, where’er I sail. The envious billows sidelong swell to whelm my track; let them; but first I pass. Yonder, by the ever-brimming goblet’s rim, the warm waves blush like wine. The gold brow plumbs the blue.
