"Holloa! Starbuck's astir," said the rigger. "He's a lively chief mate that; good man, and a pious; but all alive now, I must turn to." And so saying he went on deck, and we followed.-- GOING ABOARD, Chapter 21, Moby Dick

CONTINUED-->

You all know how Captain Ahab is the captain of The Jolly Roger. We chose the name for a reason. All that Ahab wanted to do when he was young was go a-whaling, and bring home to the people a valuable commodity which lit their lamps at night. All that the crew of The Jolly Roger wished to do as college students was to serve our generation with Great contemporary literature, to learn of the Greats who wrote before us, to write in their context, to light the lamps of our peer's moral consciences, and to enrich their existence. And just as Moby Dick demasted Ahab, cleaving his right leg while Ahab was yet a young whaler, so too is it that the postmodern boomer bureaucracy has cleaved the rational aesthetic of this generation, denying it its Natural Right to words that mean things, along with families in which those who brought us into the world still hang out. Without hesitation, aspiring liberal university presidents traded the rich Western heritage for personal gain in the liberal resentnik context. Perhaps they did not agree with everything that was said and done, but they did not speak up, and that, matey, is the leader's responsibility, which was once upon a time married to the title. They hired all their friends and did their best to do away with the conscientious publishing industry and profound press so that they could reign supreme in a politicized, polemical context, as that is the bureaucrat's favorite type of context. Where all were to be ruled by pleasure and pain, and reason and logic were but for the insane. Without any consideration for the future of their country, for the spiritual health of their children, and for their responsibility towards God and the community of eternal souls, the postmodern smooth-talking leaders sold out to the liberal deconstructionist and polemical resentnik. This Fact shall be Attested to by the Fallen State of contemporary Culture, as well as their pretended innocence and extreme silence on the Dervish Matter. For grave cultural crimes occurred in the deep of the night, beneath their intellectually indifferent command. We were all kicked out of creative writing class by Joyce Carol Oates, but we bear her no malice, for it was all kind of funny. As a fringe feminist, she was but a pawn in the greater liberal crusade. Here's this hideous woman who cannot write, and what President Shapiro of Princeton does is he sets her up as the paragon of all writers, so that when the honest, rational soul comments on her literary atrocities, the liberals can accuse that honest, rational soul of being sexist. Liberals want you to be sexist. They need you to be. If you were to admit that the Eternal Soul knows no color nor gender, you would contradict their theories, and they would dismiss you as a right-wing wacko for not judging people by their skin color and gender. It's part of the postmodern paradox, part of the industry, part of the joke. The fringe feminists' dominant presence upon the gothic grounds of Princeton is but a microscopic symptom of a far more profound cultural decay, where pornographers and embittered deconstructionists dictate the tenor of the literary culture, while idle, amoral administrators are paid huge salaries to keep their silence in the face of their crew's cultural pillages, rampages, and burnings. And so it is that the White Whale is the massive postmodern bureaucracy, and the crew of The Jolly Roger, as well as the entire generation which floats in the wake of the liberal-boomer-educational-CEOs, have been demasted by it. And while so many are today bent on "profitable cruises paid with dollars to be counted down from the mint" when they got out of college, we have higher standards, for we value our sacred honor and our heritage over our monetary wage. We sail The Jolly Roger , on the wild seas of the WWW bent on "imitigable and supernatural revenge." Argrhrghrgh!

But too, as we sailed onwards, achieving world dominance without registering on the liberal's radar, we grew to recognize softer sentiments aboard The Jolly Roger, such as those likened to First Mate Starbuck's nature. And I say that it is no small coincidence that on that gusty night by the Corolla Light, the chapter of Moby Dick which the wind had finally settled upon was was entitled Knights and Squires, and you can find it here, or ye can continue with this exposition. It is the chapter which elaborates on Starbuck's character. I urge ye to make a sincere, valiant effort in completing it, as only in its context will the profundities of this essay manifest themselves. Ye might as well get used to one thing, matey. Only in the context of the Great Books will ye gain the full riches of yer seafaring adventures aboard The Good Ship Jolly Roger.

It was the First Mate Starbuck who realized,

I am here in this critical ocean to kill whales for my living, and not to be killed by them for theirs; and that hundreds of men had been so killed Starbuck well knew. What doom was his own father's? Where, in the bottomless deeps, could he find the torn limbs of his brother?

For look what the liberals have done to our fathers and brothers, to Shakespeare, Homer, Milton, Dante, Donne, and Melville upon the college campuses. Is it any wonder that they would not hesitate to do the same to us? It is they who are out for vengeance, against that near-extinct species, the Great White Male.

Nay, it is not us who seek vengeance. I have realized what F. Scott Fitzgerald meant when he stated that "all fundamental decencies are parceled out unevenly at birth." For the postmodern resentniks, fringe feminists, and bureaucrats thrive in the political and polemical because they know not how to appreciate poetry. A true poet risks losing his soul and right to write when entering the administrative politicized world, whereas the politcian is unburdened with this artistic integrity and calling to render the Truth. No fringe feminist who ever witnessed the romantic glory of a storm blowing in off the Atlantic would seek to deconstruct Shakespeare, for they are but one and the same. And without a grounding in the ineffable romance of young love, without a foundation in the wondrous mysteriousness which Einstein saw lying at the base of all art and science, without an appreciation of God's subtleties, without a sterling memory of Misty's silhouette high-lighted by the sweeping Corolla light, without the private property afforded by a resolutely honest spirit, they are but the dumb brutes of society, a herd of polemical cowards. And the Good Angel of Starbuck's voice rings out across the open waters of the Web:

"Vengeance on a dumb brute!" cried Starbuck, "that simply smote thee from blindest instinct! Madness! To be enraged with a dumb thing, Captain Ahab, seems blasphemous."-- Chapter 36 The Quarterdeck
Starbuck reminds us that it is not in God's plan for us to seek retribution for having been kicked out of creative writing class-- to forever berate the fringe feminists and expose the boomer generation's void of intellectual leadership. God's Time will take care of them and all they create, as sure as Time's God will resurrect all that they have dismantled. The Good Ship's Mission is to build the world's largest classical community, and resurrect the traditions, works, masterpieces, and ideals which set man free, endowed him with morality, and which have made his life richer, his soul eternal, and this country Great. And one of these ideals is forgiveness.

Towards the magnificent end of Moby Dick, when Ahab has already lowered twice on two consecutive days in pursuit of the white whale, only to have his boat smashed to splinters by the great white Leviathan, Ahab lowers once again on the third day of the chase.

"Great God! but for one single instant show thyself," cried Starbuck; "never, never wilt thou capture him, old man- In Jesus's name no more of this, that's worse than devil's madness. Two days chased; twice stove to splinters; thy very leg once more snatched from under thee; thy evil shadow gone- all good angels mobbing thee with warnings:- what more wouldst thou have?- Shall we keep chasing this murderous fish till he swamps the last man? Shall we be dragged by him to the bottom of the sea? Shall we be towed by him to the infernal world? Oh, oh,- Impiety and blasphemy to hunt him more!"

And considering that the postmodern bureaucracy is a "dumb brute," immune to reason, having expelled it at its inception, would it not be mad to take vengeance upon that which has no conscience to comprehend justice? For their sole intent today is to distract us from our Purpose of laying the foundations for the Millennium's Renaissance. They would like to drag us down in their politics, and thus the best vengeance is to turn the other cheek, forgive them, and let Eternity judge their doings. For vengeance is the postmodern liberal deconstructionist's game, and envy and materialistic ambition is their sustenance. But lest we become like them, we must remind ourselves that our mission is not their deconstruction, for there is nothing to deconstruct, but rather our mission is the creation of the world's largest classical community. So we forgive them in this world, and may God have mercy on them in the next.

And so we alter our course and turn towards a far greater cause-- to serve the community of eternal souls. We turn away from the aging, passionless pedants, and towards the nobler souls of the rising generation. For we, the prematurely labeled slacker generation-x, have yet to speak for ourselves. We turn away from the fading illiterate boomer corporate grunge culture, towards the millennium's renaissance. For within the kids exists all that the liberals removed from the university, and I say that the teenagers shall understand the silent, sober beauty of that foggy night beside the Corolla Light, long before the hippy turned management consultant develops the capacity to appreciate rhyming, metered verse. I am haunted. I can neither forget nor comprehend the way the great sweeping light silhouetted her profile, as the beacon revolved about on its endless voyage. All I know is that I've got to tell you about it. And below these words from me mighty crew, ye'll find me final biddings.

I just read Kill devil hill by becket knottingham. It was very moving for me. Finally, my thoughts and fears have been put into words by someone. We are not all as the boomers would have people believe. Most of us are desperately trying to be moral and just human beings, in a society that tells us to be the opposite.The boomers generation was about money, money, money. If there is a lack of love, compassion, and justice within our generation, it is only because they raised us that way. I applaud your effort . Keep sailing, with GOD as your mate, for he is surely mine.

Subject: A cancer within the literary world

Mr Raft and fellow JR mariners:

For some weeks now fellow JR deckhand Seymour Jacklin and I have been conducting a campaign against 'poet' Murray Lachlan Young. For your sake I hope you have not yet come across him as I am sure his rabid, vapid, drug fueled rantings would drive you into apoplexy. Murray was recently signed to EMI for around 1m pounds sterling, and, I believe, appears occasionally on MTV in the States reading his abominations between programs. He is being promoted as a poet and sees himself as one. To think that a man who is clearly an idiot is lining himself up with Whitman and Pound makes me nauseous.

Unfortunately some of his poetry is now on the net, and the following URL will refer you to one of his better (but still dreadful) offerings. URL will refer you to one of his better (but still dreadful) offerings. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bookworm/juggler.htm.

So far the reaction to MLY has run along the following lines:

In a number of media interviews Young has painted a picture of serious poets - the majority of whom, naturally, do not like him - as stuffy reactionaries opposing the man who heralds the renaissance of poetry. However poetry requires a certain amount of intellectual rigour and crafting; I doubt that even Young himself would consider claiming his 'poetry' contains a modicum of either. (from my web pages).

Although you must be very busy, Seymour and I would be very happy to see opposition to 'the bimbo of poetry' championed by the great JR crew. Failing that, a few words would be very much appreciated as an indication to the crazed supporters of this fraud that the poetry world isn't going to lie down and let MLY urinate all over it.

The saddest thing is that some elements of the press seem to think MLY represents the future of English poetry and are pushing him as 'the modern Byron'.

Thanks - regards to the great floating bastion of literature and all who sail with her...

Elliot,

I thoroughly enjoyed your massive website. I am a North Carolinian and can appreciate your love for our Outer Banks and Blue Ridge mountains. I am an avid backpacker and surfer so I enjoy these extremes as well!

This site is definitely a wake up call to an apathetic and snoozing generation. I think the neo-conservative/classical liberal/libertarian type views are gaining a hold on the hearts and imaginations of our generation (I consider myself part of the so-called "Gen X" even though I just turned 30). I found the articles in "Hatteras" intriguing. Do you have a creative writing type of journal? If so I would love to submit some poems and/or short stories for consideration.

Thanks again for the hard work you folks have put into this site... I know this level of eloquent insight doesn't come cheaply! Please email me back when you get time.

- Greg

Ahoy!. Thank you for the letter. It was awesome. I cannot tell you how relieved I am at yer words! In an effort to love me fellow man I was becoming liberal minded. I was gettin' pulled down in mire of creature worship. Ah thank you man, you saved me from a fate worse than death. I think I accidentally sent your message back to you. I'm new at steering me rutter on the internet seas. Not since I've read George Macdonald, have I seen anything so thought provoking. I don't know what I'm going to do with ya you bonnie man. I was thinking that there is some one you'd like to meet. He 's a pastor over here in Seattle Washington (USA). He's 26 and endeavors to make the Book of all books relevant to our generation. I call us the orphaned generation. Left in front of the one eyed babysitter while our parents went to accumulate all the material possessions they rallied against in the 60's. Anyway his name is Mark Driscoll, and he teaches near the University District. He's real intelligent and has a knack with words. They also have a discussion philosophical group on campus. The web site is Marshillchurch@aol.com I think you'd really enjoy yerself. His friend Lief reminds me of the Red Avenger. He has a talk show to reach out to the orphaned generation. He gets down to the brass tacks too, cuts right to it. Anyway, thanks again for your frank reply to the Postmodern porno graphic 'slackers' who's 'words don't mean anything.' I would say one thing thou. It's real easy to get into the rut of railing against the jerks and forget to promote the good. I'm not worried though. You've got a good head on your shoulders and I thought all you needed is the merest whisper of a suggestion. I look forward to your next hail. If there's anything I can do for ya just whistle.

I am definitely going to make sure my friends read this. I am a junior in high school and fear the plot of liberals against me when I go to enter college. I have already confronted extreme liberals in my current school, and I was given an undeserved lower grade because of it (but I got him back by telling the Truth in front of the class every time he said something stupid, I mean liberal.

Thanks for your letter. I am a grandmother, who received WEBTV from my 15 -year-old grandson last July for my 70th birthday. I am having great fun with it, and found your website thereon. My husband and I retired here to Chapel Hill in l982 to be near our only son. Then he moved to Switzerland, London, New York, and lives in Connecticut at present. DON'T ever try to follow your children...as they might MOVE. Anyway, we are still here in Chapel Hill...and probably will stay here now. I don't have any interest in starting a literary cafe, although this town might be ripe for one. This is a very strange and diverse place.. as you know. We are among the few Republicans in these parts... and the liberal professors abound. But it is kind of fun to be different! Sincerely, Barbara (The Blonde) Macauley.

Subject: English Major Burnout

Hello. I was browsing through your webpage while looking for things for my paper. It was good enough for me to bookmark it. I'm an English major at Indiana Univeristy. It is absolutely amazing how much red tape and hassles I have gone through while attending this stupid university. The thing that really burned me up was the fact that if one were to transfer between campuses of the SAME university, the credits won't even transfer!!! I was knocked a whole grade level because of it. Most of the profs are bland. The reason why they have the "My way of no way" mind frame is laziness. They don't want to take the time to even explore what anybody has to say. I have one more year and I'm burned out. I even feel regret for even attending university, but that stupid degree is needed. Enough of my whining. For aboard your ship, I find myself beyond it all. Renee

I haven't had time to explore your entire site, but I have bookmarked it and plan to return many times. I appreciate the work you must put in to send people (including myself) the sonnet of the day.

We usually stay in Duck. Well have fun keeping your site up. Yea drop me a line if you get time at aboryan@hotmail.com


So many nights I have found myself thinking upon how cool it would be to write in as profound and rich a context as Melville wrote in. To be as well versed in the Bible and Shakespeare as he was, and thus, ever since that misty May night, whence Providence introduced me to the Greastest American Novel, I have taken it upon myself to educate myself.

The starbuckclassicalpoetry.com Classical Poetry Port is a place for you to post your favorite poems by the masters and discuss them. Voyage forth upon the net, looking for the poetry which exalts yer soul, and bring it on home to the starbuckclassicalpoetry.com Classical Poetry Port and the Classical Poet's Port. And too, in the rich context which develops, we hope that ye try yer own hand at expressing yer deepest sentiments. And may the best poet win the hearts and minds of this rising generation.

It are those few classic souls and teachers of all ages who are called on by God to seek permanence in the written language who endure the rise and fall of generations upon this earth, forming the crown jewels of our cultural heritage. And today the crew of The Jolly Roger has dedicated themselves to reviving the eternal beacons of the lost classics and laying the foundation for the millennium's renaissance. We too are seeking to be wealthy, but whereas the neon corporate cultural boomer's wealth was counted down with dollars from the mint and tax-subsidized honors and awards, our primary wealth derives from serving ye, the fearless reader, with a literature endowed with Honor, Integrity, Truth, and Beauty.

While virtually all modern leaders, lecturers, and pedants sail without conscious regard for or respect of the classics, the classics don't mind, for they know that the eternal souls that they have been and will be enjoyed by far outnumber the pompous pedants of any given age. Human nature tends to tell each of us that we are omniscient in all matters of aesthetics, and thus all men believe themselves to be superior critics of politics, art, music, and poetry. But in the end, it is only the true artist who is the true critic, for they alone look upon all possibilities the universe presents, and choose the one element which they naturally know will endure. So it is that time alone can prove the artist's sense of the immortal. Not because the artist does not know it to be the Truth, but because the greater mass of conformers, bureaucrats, and cultural experts of his day have nothing to gain by comprehending the newly created order founded in first principles, and a lot to lose. Now many tax-subsidized postmodernists have posed as misunderstood creators, prophets, and artists, attempting to utilize the darker history of the struggling artist to secure government funds, but in fact these politicians are not creators, but only destroyers of traditions. Though there is little distinction between creation and deconstruction in the postmodern mind, I perceive a bold demarcation, and I draw it here. The true artist is paid infinitely well by the integrity of that which they create. The true artist does not maliciously deconstruct time-honored traditions, but he builds upon them, thereby honoring and joining the eternal community of souls. The true artist respects the masters who created before him, and in doing so he joins their eternal context and adds to it, and so it is that he shall be respected by masters yet to be.

For I am a haunted man. I've been walking the pristine Holiday streets of Chapel Hill late at night, with white Christmas-tree light snow flakes and wreathes adorning the lamp posts, my breath hanging in the winter air silvered by the crisp Carolina moon, and Melville's melodies running through my mind. I have been reading the Greats, and in every passing face I see a soul that they could speak to. I walk alone with these effulgent visions which drive me out onto the streets for late-night promenades, and there I feel the deck of the world below me, the loyalty of me crew about me, the rising wind of a cultural yearning calling me, and I notice that Franklin Street is missing a Classicals Cafe, The Home Port of The Jolly Roger. Perhaps when our founding voyages are completed, when we have gained crow's feet about our eyes from long hours spent squinting in the crow's nest, scanning the horizon for the White Whale of all original poetry and prose; when the callouses on our hands have begun to soften, and all noble battle wounds have healed, I shall meet ye there someday. For all these treasures I speak of, and all these aspects I am haunted by, are yers.

Best Wishes & Happy Holidays,
