It's good to see that Mittlewerk, like Steely, is not just an astute critic
but (also like Steely) is Melville-literate too:

>Now we can sleep, little childrens, we can congratulate ourselves >for
feeling sorry for ourselves for being able to feel sorrow for >those poor
dead millions.  Ah, Schindler!  Ah, humanity!

...The poet is dead.
Nor will ever again hear the sea lions 
Grunt in the kelp at Point Lobos.
Nor look to the south when the grunion 
Run the Pacific, and the plunging
Shearwaters, insatiable, 
Stun themselves in the sea.  
   -Wm. Everson
