CHAPTER 1. Loomings.

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago, never mind how long precisely, having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.

It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation.

Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.

CAPÍTULO 1. Presagios.

Llamadme Ismael. Hace unos años, no importa cuántos exactamente, con poco o ningún dinero en el bolsillo y nada que me interesara en tierra, pensé que navegaría un poco para ver la parte acuática del mundo.

Es mi manera de ahuyentar la melancolía y regular la circulación.

Cada vez que me sorprendo con un gesto amargo en la boca; cada vez que en mi alma hay un noviembre húmedo y lluvioso; cada vez que me detengo sin querer ante las funerarias, entonces comprendo que es hora de hacerme a la mar cuanto antes.
