The White Whale

Quick, Quick, what is important about the white whale?  Who was the white whale?

Look sharp, all of ye! There are whales here-abouts! If ye see a white one, split your lungs for him!

Whosoever of ye raises me a white-headed whale with a wrinkled brow and a crooked jaw; whosoever of ye raises me that white-headed whale, with three holes punctured in his starboard fluke- look you, whosoever of ye raises me that same white whale, he shall have this gold ounce, my boys!

Of course, Cap’n Ahab!

Thou hast outraged, not insulted me, sir; but for that I ask thee not to beware of Starbuck; thou wouldst but laugh; but let Ahab beware of Ahab; beware of thyself, old man.
