Daddy of the Day - Frank

Are sailors, frequenters of fiddlers' greens, without vices? No; but less often than with landsmen do their vices, so called, partake of crookedness of heart, seeming less to proceed from viciousness than exuberance of vitality after long constraint: frank manifestations in accordance with natural law. 

Herman Melville (1819-1891). Billy Budd, Sailor, ch. 2
