Aus dem Buch: 'Aber all das tat ihrer Segelfähigkeit keinen Eintrag. Wie es auch blasen mochte, eine sanfte Brise oder Sturm, sie war immer bereit; wenn sie die Wogen schäumend teilte und über das Meer nur so hintanzte und sprang, dann vergaß man ihre geflickten Segel und ihren schadhaften Rumpf. Wie das behende Ding vor dem Winde lief! Ja, gewiß, sie rollte hie und da, aber das war mehr Spaß! Und kein Windstoß konnte ihr etwas anhaben, wenn sie luvte: mit steifen Spieren steckte sie die Nase in den Wind und schoß durch die Wellen.' Herman Melville (1819-1891) war ein amerikanischer Schriftsteller, Dichter und Essayist. Sein Roman Moby-Dick zählt zu den bedeutendsten der Weltliteratur.
