"a strange living thing, indeed"

Nice connections, both re Moby Dick ("reaching for new possibilities and opening up new paths for inquiry") and re Sequoas/living things. Yep, no "single goal" but instead a wide ranging set of different explorations of "what ... might possibly be ... more useful" in particular situations. Maybe not ony a useful way to think about biological systems and literature but also about human cultures and individual lives as well?
