Seat thyself sultanically among the moons of Saturn, and take high abstracted man alone; and he seems a wonder, a grandeur, and a woe. But from the same point, take mankind in mass, and for the most part, they seem a mob of unnecessary duplicates, both contemporary and hereditary.
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick; or The Whale (1851),
Chapter 107, The Carpenter
Titan, Saturn VI. Katabasis.
