And
if
at
times
these
things
bent
the
welded
iron
of
his
soul
,
much
more
did
his
far-away
domestic
memories
of
his
young
Cape
wife
and
child
,
tend
to
bend
him
still
more
from
the
original
ruggedness
of
his
nature
,
and
open
him
still
further
to
those
latent
influences
which
,
in
some
honest-hearted
men
,
restrain
the
gush
of
dare-devil
daring
,
so
often
evinced
by
others
in
the
more
perilous
vicissitudes
of
the
fishery
.
"
I
will
have
no
man
in
my
boat
,
"
said
Starbuck
,
"
who
is
not
afraid
of
a
whale
.
"
By
this
,
he
seemed
to
mean
,
not
only
that
the
most
reliable
and
useful
courage
was
that
which
arises
from
the
fair
estimation
of
the
encountered
peril
,
but
that
an
utterly
fearless
man
is
a
far
more
dangerous
comrade
than
a
coward
.
"
Aye
,
aye
,
"
said
Stubb
,
the
second
mate
,
"
Starbuck
,
there
,
is
as
careful
a
man
as
you
'll
find
anywhere
in
this
fishery
.
"
But
we
shall
ere
long
see
what
that
word
"
careful
"
precisely
means
when
used
by
a
man
like
Stubb
,
or
almost
any
other
whale
hunter
.
Starbuck
was
no
crusader
after
perils
;
in
him
courage
was
not
a
sentiment
;
but
a
thing
simply
useful
to
him
,
and
always
at
hand
upon
all
mortally
practical
occasions
.
Besides
,
he
thought
,
perhaps
,
that
in
this
business
of
whaling
,
courage
was
one
of
the
great
staple
outfits
of
the
ship
,
like
her
beef
and
her
bread
,
and
not
to
be
foolishly
wasted
.
Wherefore
he
had
no
fancy
for
lowering
for
whales
after
sun-down
;
nor
for
persisting
in
fighting
a
fish
that
too
much
persisted
in
fighting
him
.
For
,
thought
Starbuck
,
I
am
here
in
this
critical
ocean
to
kill
whales
for
my
living
,
and
not
to
be
killed
by
them
for
theirs
;
and
that
hundreds
of
men
had
been
so
killed
Starbuck
well
knew
.
What
doom
was
his
own
father
's
?
Where
,
in
the
bottomless
deeps
,
could
he
find
the
torn
limbs
of
his
brother
?
With
memories
like
these
in
him
,
and
,
moreover
,
given
to
a
certain
superstitiousness
,
as
has
been
said
;
the
courage
of
this
Starbuck
,
which
could
,
nevertheless
,
still
flourish
,
must
indeed
have
been
extreme
.
But
it
was
not
in
reasonable
nature
that
a
man
so
organized
,
and
with
such
terrible
experiences
and
remembrances
as
he
had
;
it
was
not
in
nature
that
these
things
should
fail
in
latently
engendering
an
element
in
him
,
which
,
under
suitable
circumstances
,
would
break
out
from
its
confinement
,
and
burn
all
his
courage
up
.
And
brave
as
he
might
be
,
it
was
that
sort
of
bravery
chiefly
,
visible
in
some
intrepid
men
,
which
,
while
generally
abiding
firm
in
the
conflict
with
seas
,
or
winds
,
or
whales
,
or
any
of
the
ordinary
irrational
horrors
of
the
world
,
yet
can
not
withstand
those
more
terrific
,
because
more
spiritual
terrors
,
which
sometimes
menace
you
from
the
concentrating
brow
of
an
enraged
and
mighty
man
.
But
were
the
coming
narrative
to
reveal
in
any
instance
,
the
complete
abasement
of
poor
Starbuck
's
fortitude
,
scarce
might
I
have
the
heart
to
write
it
;
but
it
is
a
thing
most
sorrowful
,
nay
shocking
,
to
expose
the
fall
of
valor
in
the
soul
.
Men
may
seem
detestable
as
joint
stock-companies
and
nations
;
knaves
,
fools
,
and
murderers
there
may
be
;
men
may
have
mean
and
meagre
faces
;
but
,
man
,
in
the
ideal
,
is
so
noble
and
so
sparkling
,
such
a
grand
and
glowing
creature
,
that
over
any
ignominious
blemish
in
him
all
his
fellows
should
run
to
throw
their
costliest
robes
.
That
immaculate
manliness
we
feel
within
ourselves
,
so
far
within
us
,
that
it
remains
intact
though
all
the
outer
character
seem
gone
;
bleeds
with
keenest
anguish
at
the
undraped
spectacle
of
a
valor-ruined
man
.
Nor
can
piety
itself
,
at
such
a
shameful
sight
,
completely
stifle
her
upbraidings
against
the
permitting
stars
.
But
this
august
dignity
I
treat
of
,
is
not
the
dignity
of
kings
and
robes
,
but
that
abounding
dignity
which
has
no
robed
investiture
.
Thou
shalt
see
it
shining
in
the
arm
that
wields
a
pick
or
drives
a
spike
;
that
democratic
dignity
which
,
on
all
hands
,
radiates
without
end
from
God
;
Himself
!
The
great
God
absolute
!
The
centre
and
circumference
of
all
democracy
!
His
omnipresence
,
our
divine
equality
!
If
,
then
,
to
meanest
mariners
,
and
renegades
and
castaways
,
I
shall
hereafter
ascribe
high
qualities
,
though
dark
;
weave
around
them
tragic
graces
;
if
even
the
most
mournful
,
perchance
the
most
abased
,
among
them
all
,
shall
at
times
lift
himself
to
the
exalted
mounts
;
if
I
shall
touch
that
workman
's
arm
with
some
ethereal
light
;
if
I
shall
spread
a
rainbow
over
his
disastrous
set
of
sun
;
then
against
all
mortal
critics
bear
me
out
in
it
,
thou
just
Spirit
of
Equality
,
which
hast
spread
one
royal
mantle
of
humanity
over
all
my
kind
!
Bear
me
out
in
it
,
thou
great
democratic
God
!
who
didst
not
refuse
to
the
swart
convict
,
Bunyan
,
the
pale
,
poetic
pearl
;
Thou
who
didst
clothe
with
doubly
hammered
leaves
of
finest
gold
,
the
stumped
and
paupered
arm
of
old
Cervantes
;
Thou
who
didst
pick
up
Andrew
Jackson
from
the
pebbles
;
who
didst
hurl
him
upon
a
war-horse
;
who
didst
thunder
him
higher
than
a
throne
!
Thou
who
,
in
all
Thy
mighty
,
earthly
marchings
,
ever
cullest
Thy
selectest
champions
from
the
kingly
commoners
;
bear
me
out
in
it
,
O
God
!
Stubb
was
the
second
mate
.
He
was
a
native
of
Cape
Cod
;
and
hence
,
according
to
local
usage
,
was
called
a
Cape-Cod-man
.
A
happy-go-lucky
;
neither
craven
nor
valiant
;
taking
perils
as
they
came
with
an
indifferent
air
;
and
while
engaged
in
the
most
imminent
crisis
of
the
chase
,
toiling
away
,
calm
and
collected
as
a
journeyman
joiner
engaged
for
the
year
.
Good-humored
,
easy
,
and
careless
,
he
presided
over
his
whaleboat
as
if
the
most
deadly
encounter
were
but
a
dinner
,
and
his
crew
all
invited
guests
.
He
was
as
particular
about
the
comfortable
arrangements
of
his
part
of
the
boat
,
as
an
old
stage-driver
is
about
the
snugness
of
his
box
.
When
close
to
the
whale
,
in
the
very
death-lock
of
the
fight
,
he
handled
his
unpitying
lance
coolly
and
off-handedly
,
as
a
whistling
tinker
his
hammer
.
He
would
hum
over
his
old
rigadig
tunes
while
flank
and
flank
with
the
most
exasperated
monster
.
Long
usage
had
,
for
this
Stubb
,
converted
the
jaws
of
death
into
an
easy
chair
.
What
he
thought
of
death
itself
,
there
is
no
telling
.
Whether
he
ever
thought
of
it
at
all
,
might
be
a
question
;
but
,
if
he
ever
did
chance
to
cast
his
mind
that
way
after
a
comfortable
dinner
,
no
doubt
,
like
a
good
sailor
,
he
took
it
to
be
a
sort
of
call
of
the
watch
to
tumble
aloft
,
and
bestir
themselves
there
,
about
something
which
he
would
find
out
when
he
obeyed
the
order
,
and
not
sooner
.
What
,
perhaps
,
with
other
things
,
made
Stubb
such
an
easy-going
,
unfearing
man
,
so
cheerily
trudging
off
with
the
burden
of
life
in
a
world
fail
of
grave
peddlers
,
all
bowed
to
the
ground
with
their
packs
;
what
helped
to
bring
about
that
almost
impious
good-humor
of
his
;
that
thing
must
have
been
his
pipe
.
For
,
like
his
nose
,
his
short
,
black
little
pipe
was
one
of
the
regular
features
of
his
face
.
You
would
almost
as
soon
have
expected
him
to
turn
out
of
his
bunk
without
his
nose
as
without
his
pipe
.
He
kept
a
whole
row
of
pipes
there
ready
loaded
,
stuck
in
a
rack
,
within
easy
reach
of
his
hand
;
and
,
whenever
he
turned
in
,
he
smoked
them
all
out
in
succession
,
lighting
one
from
the
other
to
the
end
of
the
chapter
;
then
loading
them
again
to
be
in
readiness
anew
.
For
,
when
Stubb
dressed
,
instead
of
first
putting
his
legs
into
his
trowsers
,
he
put
his
pipe
into
his
mouth
.
