Examples

  • That the Buccaneers perpetrated the greatest outrages is very true -- that some of them were mere cutthroats is not to be denied; but we know that here and there among their host was a Dampier, a Wafer, and a Cowley, and likewise other men, whose worst reproach was their desperate fortunes -- whom persecution, or adversity, or secret and unavengeable wrongs, had driven from Christian society to seek the melancholy solitude or the guilty adventures of the sea.

    The Piazza Tales Herman Melville 1855
