"What is it, what nameless, inscrutable, unearthly thing is it; what
cozening, hidden lord and master, and cruel, remorseless emperor commands me
that against all natural lovings and longings, I so keep pushing, and crowdi
and jamming myself on all the time; recklessly making me ready to do what in
own proper, natural heart, I durst not so much as dare? Is Ahab, Ahab? Is it
God, or who, that lifts this arm?"
-- Moby-Dick; or, the Whale (1851)
