Quote by Herman Melville
I feel that the Godhead is broken up like the bread at the Supper, and that we are the pieces. Hence this infinite fraternity of feeling.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker suggests that the essence of God, known as the Godhead, is fragmented into individual pieces, much like bread broken during the Last Supper. As a result of this fragmentation, the speaker believes that a profound connection is formed among human beings, described as an "infinite fraternity of feeling." This concept implies that since humans are essentially derived from the same divine source, they share a fundamental bond and interconnectedness, promoting empathy and understanding among individuals.
