though it was put together of all contrasting things
oak, and maple, and pine wood;
iron, and pitch, and hemp
yet all these ran into each other in the one concrete hull,
which shot on its way,
both balanced and directed by the long central keel;
even so,
all the individualities of the crew,
this man's valor,
that man's fear;
guilt and guiltiness,
all varieties were welded into oneness,
and were all directed to that fatal goal
which אחאב their one lord and keel did point to.
