    it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought;all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby-Dick. He

    race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot hearts shell

    upon it.

    down from lofty hilltops, and now I was able to do so without any feeling of nervousness, having

    fortunately hardened myself to that kind of sublime contemplation. I wholly forgot who I was,

    and where I was. I became intoxicated with a sense of lofty sublimity, without thought of the

    abysses into which my daring was soon about to plunge me.
