Herman Melville (1819–1891) was an American poet and novelist of the American Renaissance, best known for his allusive adventure novel “Moby-Dick.” Mysterious and unpredictable, the “Pierre: or, The Ambiguities” contains all the good and intriguing features of the Gothic fi ction genre. Being the major author’s historical work in later years, the novel “Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land” considered to be one of the longest in the American literature. The book tells the story of an American named Clarel and his companions, on a pilgrimage through the Palestinian ruins. It consists of four parts: Jerusalem, The Wilderness, Mar Saba, and Bethlehem.

MAR SABA
1. IN THE MOUNTAIN
WHAT REVERIES be in yonder heaven Whither, if yet faith rule it so, The tried and ransomed natures fl ow? If there peace after strife be given Shall hearts remember yet and know? Thy vista, Lord, of havens dear, May that in such entrancement bind That never starts a wandering tear For wail and willow left behind? Then wherefore, chaplet, quivering throw A dusk e’en on the martyr’s brow You crown? Do seraphim shed balm At last on all of earnest mind, Unworldly yearners, nor the palm Awarded St. Teresa, ban To Leopardi, Obermann? Translated where the anthem’s sung Beyond the thunder, in a strain Whose harmony unwinds and solves Each mystery that life involves; There shall the Tree whereon He hung, The olive wood, leaf out again –

Again leaf out, and endless reign, Type of the peace that buds from sinless pain?
Exhalings! Tending toward the skies By natural law, from heart they rise Of one there by the moundless bed Where stones they roll to feet and head; Then mount, and fall behind the guard And so away. But whitherward? ‘Tis the high desert, sultry Alp Which suns decay, which lightnings scalp. For now, to round the waste in large, Christ’s Tomb re-win by Saba’s marge Of grots and ossuary cells, And Bethlehem where remembrance dwells – From Sodom in her pit dismayed Westward they wheel, and there invade Judah’s main ridge, which horrors deaden – Where Chaos holds the wilds in pawn, As here had happed an Armageddon, Betwixt the good and ill a fray, But ending in a battle drawn, Victory undetermined. Nay, For how an indecisive day When one side camps upon the ground Contested. Ere, enlocked in bound They enter where the ridge is riven,
