Ahab is the sanest of men
Captain Ahab was supremely competent in his pursuit of Moby-Dick.
If sanity consists in reaching a goal — in the case of hunting and killing whales with small boats and harpoons a notoriously difficult goal, demanding months of hard pursuit and constant privation, alternatingly despairing and hopeful, and ever relentless — then Ahab is the sanest of men.
