Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


As I read over what I have written I notice how the terminology of
the sea has stolen into my mental processes. Involuntarily I think
in terms of the sea. Another thing I notice is my excessive use of
superlatives. But then, everything on board the Elsinore is
superlative. I find myself continually combing my vocabulary in
quest of just and adequate words. Yet am I aware of failure. For
example, all the words of all the dictionaries would fail to
approximate the exceeding terribleness of Mulligan Jacobs.
