Because I can't resist, more from the same book: (though I will not
bother to insert breaks for "poetic" effect)

That glad, happy air, that winsome sky, did at last stroke and caress him;
the step-mother world, so long cruel- forbidding- now threw affectionate
arms round his stubborn neck, and did seem to joyously sob over him, as if
over one, that however wilful and erring, she could yet find it in her heart
to save and to bless. From beneath his slouched hat Ahab dropped a tear into
the sea; nor did all the Pacific contain such wealth as that one wee drop.
