Herman Melville (1819-1891) used well his own experience among the primitive conditions of life on sailing ships to describe the nature of the human heart. Most clearly, in his Moby-Dick, also known as The Whale, he writes of Captain Ahab's state on the third day of stalking the ghostly white monster that had enslaved Ahab's mind and soul. Melville expresses a premonition of the state of the soul of so many in our time.
