Woke up in the mood for some whales...

Not many books combine Shakespearean, Miltonic grandeur with Joycean, Borgesian mischief — but Moby-Dick does, one of miracles of literature. Also: lots of whales.

❛ And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.

Unsatisfying answer...we don't really know why.

The use of the figurative meaning of 'baggage' dates back to the late 19th century. So it's relatively new.

For whatever reason, 'luggage' has retained its literalness and 'baggage' hasn't.
