anteros_lmcBack to Melville for today's random naval quote:
This is a description of the Neversink's inestimable captain of the main top, Jack Chase. However I can think of others to whom it could apply ;)
Melville, H., (2000), White-Jacket or the World in a Man-of-War, Northwestern University Press.
"...a glance like that of a sentimental archangel doomed to drag out his eternity in disgrace."
