Come on, Moby Dick is about AF transcendence.
After all, sperm whales, whiteness, harpoons.
I haven't read it, but did fetch a copy from
Project Gutenburg - http://www.promo.net/pg/
- down to my Pocket PC, where KWIC analysis
will yield loads of word studies on the go:
whale*
that this pertinacious pursuit of one particular whale, continued through
day into night, and through
=specificity of the self
--ye can't escape --blow on and split your spout, O whale! the mad fiend
himself is after ye! blow your trump
=Hey, hey, blow the man down!
the men had mistaken some other thing for the whale-spout, as the event
itself soon proved; for hardly

That's a good match in 9 of the first 15 hits,
with 600 hits to go, and the 600 were limited
by a Windows programming limit: edit controls
can't hold but 64 K characters, so I'm still
only taking the baby steps, so far to go...
Hey, but when I get it right, it'll be freeware,
forcing the free users to visit Revelation, then
the KVJ bible, then his Internet cache and local
file store, before going off to query a battery
of search engines, like Surf. It'll be grand!
