The bar-room was now full of the boarders who had been dropping in the night previous, and whom I had not as yet had a good look at. They were nearly all whalemen; chief mates, and second mates, and third mates, and sea carpenters, and sea coopers, and sea blacksmiths, and harpooneers, and ship keepers; a brown and brawny company, with bosky beards; an unshorn, shaggy set, all wearing monkey jackets for morning gowns.
Herman Melville, Moby Dick, Chapter V: Breakfast

What we get is an empty, still and unreal architecture, lifeless and, now more than ever, shunning the irresistible urge for an unmediated experience of space.
