Excerpt From The Book
He was a seaman, but he was a wanderer too, while most seamen lead, if one may so express it, a sedentary life.
Their minds are of the stay-at-home order, and their home is always with them-the ship; and so is their country-the sea.
One ship is very much like another, and the sea is always the same.
In the immutability of their surroundings the foreign shores, the foreign faces, the changing immensity of life, glide past, veiled not by a sense of mystery but by a slightly disdainful ignorance;
for there is nothing mysterious to a seaman unless it is the sea itself, which is the mistress of his existence and as inscrutable as Destiny.
For the rest, after his hours of work, a casual stroll or a casual spree on shore suffices to unfold for him the secret of a whole continent, and generally, he finds the secret not worth knowing.
The yarns of seamen have a direct simplicity. the whole meaning of which lies within the shell of a cracked nut.
But Marlow was not typical Gif his propensity to spin yarns be excepted), and to him, the meaning of an episode was not inside like a kernel but outside,

His remark did not seem at all surprising. It was just like Marlow. It was accepted in silence. No one took the trouble to grunt even; and presently he said, very slow “I was thinking of very old times,
when the Romans first came here, nineteen hundred years ago-the another day…. The light came out of this river since you say, Knights? Yes: but it is like a running blaze on a plain, like a flash of lightning in the clouds.
