1We had lain thus in bed, chatting and napping at short intervals, and Queequeg now and then affectionately throwing his
2brown tattooed legs over mine, and then drawing them back; so entirely sociable and free and easy were we; when, at
3last, by reason of our confabulations, what little nappishness remained in us altogether departed, and we felt like
4getting up again, though day-break was yet some way down the future. Yes, we became very wakeful; so much so that our
5recumbent position began to grow wearisome, and by little and little we found ourselves sitting up; the clothes well
6tucked around us, leaning against the head-board with our four knees drawn up close together, and our two noses bending
7over them, as if our kneepans were warming-pans. We felt very nice and snug, the more so since it was so chilly out of
8doors; indeed out of bed-clothes too, seeing that there was no fire in the room. The more so, I say, because truly to
9enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is
10merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been
11so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more. But if, like Queequeg and me in the bed, the tip of
12your nose or the crown of your head be slightly chilled, why then, indeed, in the general consciousness you feel most
13delightfully and unmistakably warm. For this reason a sleeping apartment should never be furnished with a fire, which is
14one of the luxurious discomforts of the rich. For the height of this sort of deliciousness is to have nothing but the
15blanket between you and your snugness and the cold of the outer air. Then there you lie like the one warm spark in the
16heart of an arctic crystal. We had been sitting in this crouching manner for some time, when all at once I thought I
17would open my eyes; for when between sheets, whether by day or by night, and whether asleep or awake, I have a way of
18always keeping my eyes shut, in order the more to concentrate the snugness of being in bed. Because no man can ever feel
19his own identity aright except his eyes be closed; as if darkness were indeed the proper element of our essences, though
20light be more congenial to our clayey part. Upon opening my eyes then, and coming out of my own pleasant and
21self-created darkness into the imposed and coarse outer gloom of the unilluminated twelve-o'clock-at-night, I
22experienced a disagreeable revulsion. Nor did I at all object to the hint from Queequeg that perhaps it were best to
23strike a light, seeing that we were so wide awake; and besides he felt a strong desire to have a few quiet puffs from
24his Tomahawk. Be it said, that though I had felt such a strong repugnance to his smoking in the bed the night before,
25yet see how elastic our stiff prejudices grow when love once comes to bend them. For now I liked nothing better than to
26have Queequeg smoking by me, even in bed, because he seemed to be full of such serene household joy then. I no more felt
27unduly concerned for the landlord's policy of insurance. I was only alive to the condensed confidential comfortableness
28of sharing a pipe and a blanket with a real friend. With our shaggy jackets drawn about our shoulders, we now passed the
29Tomahawk from one to the other, till slowly there grew over us a blue hanging tester of smoke, illuminated by the flame
30of the new-lit lamp. Whether it was that this undulating tester rolled the savage away to far distant scenes, I know
31not, but he now spoke of his native island; and, eager to hear his history, I begged him to go on and tell it. He gladly
32complied. Though at the time I but ill comprehended not a few of his words, yet subsequent disclosures, when I had
33become more familiar with his broken phraseology, now enable me to present the whole story such as it may prove in the
34mere skeleton I give.
