Call me Ishmael some years ago. Never mind how long precisely having little or no money in my pocket and nothing particular to interest me. I'm sure I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world is the way I have of driving off the plane and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth, whenever is a damp drizzly November in my soul, whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coughing warehouses and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet. And especially whenever my hippos gets such an upper hand of me that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping out into the street and knocking people's hats off. Then I accounted high time to get to see as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball with a philosophical flourish. Cato throws himself upon his own sword. I quietly take to the ship. There's nothing surprising in this if they but knew it almost all men in their degree some time or other cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.
