Not P but Moby-Dick (95)

[Mike Jing]

>From Chapter 119:

“Oh! thou clear spirit of clear fire, whom on these seas I as Persian once
did worship, till in the sacramental act so burned by thee, that to this
hour I bear the scar; I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I now know
that thy right worship is defiance. To neither love nor reverence wilt thou
be kind; and e’en for hate thou canst but kill; and all are killed. No
fearless fool now fronts thee. I own thy speechless, placeless power; but
to the last gasp of my earthquake life will dispute its unconditional,
unintegral mastery in me.

In "No fearless fool now fronts thee", is Ahab talking talking about
himself, i.e. "I am no fearless fool", or is he making a general statement,
meaning there is no one fearless and foolish enough to confront the spirit?
