Chapter 56: Of the Less Erroneous Pictures of Whales, and the True Pictures of Whaling Scenes

Poetry in motion!
Poetry in motion!
So chop away
At their flanks, come on!

Poetry in motion!
Poetry in motion!
The war identity
Captured in every painting,
Good and true.

You'll never have a picture
Without the reckoning force,
The justice of the scriptures,
Of nature's course!

Humans live in the action!
Humans live in the action!
Construct a narrative
Through adversaries, oh!

Humans live in the action!
Humans live in the action!
Emotions conquering
Our studied observations
For the truth.

You'll never have a picture
Without the reckoning force,
The justice of the scriptures,
Of nature's course!

Poetry in motion!
Poetry in motion!
So chop away
At their flanks, come on!

Poetry in motion!
Poetry in motion!
The war identity
Captured in every painting,
Good and true.
