Compare what the same writer can do once he’s found his booming, authoritative voice:

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. . . .

That is what I mean by authority. No further comment is necessary, but notice how flowing, tricky, and finely balanced the music is. (Needless to say, another reader might analyze the rhythms differently. My notation reflects my own hearing of the sentences.)
