Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


And as I looked down upon the poor wretches from the break of the
poop, standing there in the high place, the vision of my kind down
all its mad, violent, and masterful past was strong upon me.
Already, since our departure from Baltimore, three other men,
masters, had occupied this high place and gone their way--the
Samurai, Mr. Pike, and Mr. Mellaire. I stood here, fourth, no
seaman, merely a master by the blood of my ancestors; and the work of
the Elsinore in the world went on.
