"But the past is passed; why moralize upon……" — Herman Melville

"But the past is passed; why moralize upon it? Forget it. See, yon bright son has forgotten it all, and the blue sea, and the blue sky; these have turned over new leaves. Because they have no memory . . . because they are not human."

Herman Melville
