Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more? in what rapt ether sails the world, of which the weariest will never weary? where is the foundling’s father hidden? our souls are like those orphans whose unwedded mothers die in bearing them: the secret of our paternity lies in their grave, and we must there to learn it.

Where Lies The Final Harbor, Whence We

Herman Melville
Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more? in what rapt ether sails the world, of which the weariest will never weary? where is the foundling’s father hidden? our souls are like those orphans whose unwedded mothers die in bearing them: the secret of our paternity lies in their grave, and we must there to learn it.

In the pale light of daybreak the gravestones looked like so many white sails of boats anchored in a busy harbor. they were sails that would never again be filled with wind, sails that, too long unused and heavily drooping, had been turned into stone just as they were. the boats' anchors had been thrust so deeply into the dark earth that they could never again be raised.

What is there in places empty of matter? and whence is it that the sun and planets gravitate toward one another without dense matter between them? whence is it that nature doth nothing in vain? and whence arises all that order and beauty which we see in the world? to what end are comets? and whence is it that planets move all one and the same way in orbs concentrick, while comets move all manner of ways in orbs very excentrick? and what hinders the fixed stars from falling upon one another?

To forgive the incessant provocations of daily life - to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son - how can we do it? only, i think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, “forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” we are offered forgiveness on no other terms. to refuse it is to refuse god’s mercy for ourselves. there is no hint of exceptions and god means what he says.

Mother teresas detractors have accused her of overemphasizing calcuttans destitution and of coercing conversion from the defenseless. in the context of lost causes, mother teresa took on battles she knew she could win. taken together, it seems to me, the criticisms of her work do not undermine or topple her overall achievement.
