Peleg!" said Bildad, lifting his eyes and hands, "thou thyself, as I myself, hast seen many a perilous time; thou knowest, Peleg, what it is to have the fear of death; how, then, can'st thou prate in this ungodly guise.— Фалек, Фалек, — проговорил Вилдад, возводя очи и руки к небесам. — Ведь и ты сам, как и я, изведал немало опасностей.Ведь ты знаешь, Фалек, что означает страх смерти.Как же можешь ты прибегать к столь нечестивому пустословию?Melville, Herman / Moby Dick Or The WhaleМелвилл, Герман / Моби Дик, или Белый КитМоби Дик, или Белый КитМелвилл, Герман© Издательство «Художественная литература», 1981Moby Dick Or The WhaleMelville, Herman© Northwestern University Press and The Newberry Library, 1988
