The World's Shortest Personality Test

     Though among the holy pomps of the Romish faith, white is specially employed in the celebration in the Passion of our Lord; though in the Vision of St. John, white robes are given to the redeemed, and the four and twenty elders stand clothed in white before the white throne, and the Holy One that sitteth there white like wool; yet for all of these accumulated associations, with whatever is sweet and honorable, and sublime, there yet lurks an elusive something in the innermost idea of this hue, which strikes more of panic to the soul than that redness which affrights in blood.
     This elusive quality it is, which causes the thought of whiteness, when divorced from more kindly associations, and coupled with any object terrible in itself, to heighten that terror to the furthest bounds. Witness the white bear of the poles, and the white shark of the tropics; what but their smooth flaky whiteness makes them the transcendent horrors they are?...
     But not yet have we solved the incantation of this whiteness, and learned why it appeals with such power to the soul; and more strange and far more portentous - why, as we have seen, it is at once the most meaning symbol of spiritual things, the very veil of the Christian Deity; and yet should be as it is, the intensifying agent in things the most appalling to mankind.
     It is that by its indefinitenss it shadows forth the heartless voids and immensities of the universe, and thus stabs us from behind with the thought of annihilation, when beholding the white depths of the milky way? Or is it, that in essence whiteness is not so much a color as the visible absence of color, and at the same time the concrete of all colors; it is for these reasons that there is such a dumb blankness, full of meaning, in a wide landscape of snows - a colorless, all-color of atheism from which we shrink? And when we consider that other theory of the natural philosophers, that all other earthly hues - every stately or lovely emblazoning - the sweet tinges of sunset skies and woods; yea, and the gilded velvets of butterflies, and the butterfly cheeks of young girls; all thee are but subtile deceits, not actually inherent in substances, but only laid on from without; so that all deified Nature absolutely paints the harlot, whose allurements cover nothing but the charnel-house within; and when we proceed further, and consider that the mystical cosmetic which produces every one of her hues., the great principal of light, for ever remains white or colorless in itself, and if operating without medium upon matter, would touch all objects, even tulips and roses, with its own blank tinge - pondering all this, the palsied universe lies before us a leper, and like willful travelers in Lapland, who refuse to wear colored and coloring glasses upon their eyes, so the wretched infidel gazes upon himself blind at the monumental white shroud that wraps all the prospect around him. And all of these things the Albino Whale the symbol. Wonder ye then at the fiery hunt?

Yikes! This is remarkably accurate. I mainly chose this pic because I'm a Scorpio, a water sign. I'm very drawn to water. Was literally born on the shore of Sydney Harbour and have always lived within a walk of the ocean.

I agree!  And Kerry, you and I are kindred spirits.  I wasn't fortunate enough to live near a large body of water all my life, but I did live on a fairly sizable glacial lake between the ages of 13 and 22.  As the line in "A River Runs Through It" goes, I am haunted by waters.

Not sure that I am "haunted" by water as such lol. More like "enchanted" by water. The first 17 years of my life were spent with the sound and smell of the ocean. You could smell the salt in the air and would be lulled to sleep each night by the sound of the waves breaking on the nearby beach. My parents relocated when I was 17. We were still near the coast, but had a low hill between us and the ocean, meaning we didn't have the ocean's soft, drumming lullaby to rock us to sleep each night. None of us could sleep for the first couple of weeks. Couldn't figure out why, until we realised that the sound of the ocean was missing. Must have been harder for my parents, cause they had lived in that house by the sea for 30 years. Yes, indeed, I love the ocean. I love lakes and rivers, streams and creeks, too.

When I lived on the lake, our house was actually built partially over the natural shoreline.  We had a breakwall in which was planted a yard and trees that extended out past the shore about 30 feet.  My bedroom window on the second floor was adjacent to the shore, and there was a rocky beach directly beneath it.  So I got a similar lullaby - especially in the cool fall and spring months when I could keep my window open a crack all night.  I only got to have that for about 5 years, but I can still remember exactly what it sounded like.  The combination of that and the thick, oily leaves of a sumac tree making a sound like wind chimes in the nightly breezes used to lull me to sleep.  Lovely, lovely.  The palm fronds down here in Florida make a similar sound to those leaves in the wind, but I miss the sound of the water.

My husband and I talk regularly of buying a condo on the beach when we retire/when Will (our five-year-old) goes to college.  He's had a few brief stints of living on or near a beach in his life and misses that sound, too.

That lakeside house sounds sooo beautiful. My childhood home, near the beach, was situated on a spit of land between beach and lake, so we got the beautiful chorus of the water birds at dawn and dusk each day. Where I live now, quite close to Sydney Harbour, I still hear some of that same birdsong, and I am always jettisoned back to my childhood whenever I hear it. Happy memories.
