“Some years ago” isn’t a Moby Dick-ism, it’s perfectly normal English to open an anecdote with.

'some years ago I went through a phase' in an introduction is plausibly a moby dick reference

It’s really not. “Some years ago” is a very common phrase, completely unrelated to its occurrence in Moby Dick. Its use in Moby Dick isn’t iconic or anything like that.

Is there something you want to tell us about having read Herman Melville's classic American epic novel Moby Dick (1851)?
