Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


ANOTHER LUNATIC, was the thought that flashed through my mind;
another lunatic, the slave of a single idea. He forgets the mutiny,
his fidelity to the ship, in his personal thirst for vengeance.


But did he? Even as he forgot and called his heart's desire, which
was the life of the second mate, even then, without intention,
mechanically, his sailor's considerative eye lifted to note the draw
of the sails and roved from sail to sail. Thereupon, so reminded, he
returned to his fidelity.
