The Herman Melville Library
In which the customs of Mardi unfold with sombre reverence, as the isle's people mourn the diver Karhownoo through a solemn procession and a rite that consigns his body to the sea’s enigmatic depths, their grief mingled with ritual incantations and symbolic gestures. Interspersed are moments of gaiety in the form of a wedding celebration, where the joyous rites contrast the dolorous funeral, reflecting the complex tapestry of life and death that governs the island’s inhabitants.
