While you were cleaning out the basement of Quod Estis Demonstratum Collich of the Great Whale of Melvill, why in heaven's exaltatious name did you drink that compound that said "Do Not Touch, this means YOU, Charles F Marsh." It has left you with few lucid moments with which even to project in sad imaginative moments what a once clear mind might have become.

Time changes nothing. Things change and time passes co-incidentally. Time in itself has nothing to do with their changing as it is only a metric of, well, time.

The chowderheads here have to be told what Two years before the mast means.

Well folks. When Dana wrote that immensely popular book, it became such a sensation that passages from it were read aloud in Congress. It led to the passage of laws concerning the treatment of crews aboard merchant ships. It changed the industry that America was dependent on
in a dramatic fashion.

The influence of writers has faded in modern times to where it is shadow of the effect of Dana and Jack London. By the time we get to Hemingway correspondents are observers. Writers on the second world war are few and not revelatory. The writers of the Revolutionary war caused it. The men of the war chronicled it effectively. The civil war saw Crane and Whitman.

So what's your point?
