French term or phrase: vitalité générique et panthéiste
I could spend precious time hunting around for this whole chunk but I would be very grateful if someone out there could give me the original English..

Une sorte de vitalité générique et panthéiste semble couver jusque dans leurs articulations et leurs os. Tué et hissé sur le pont pour qu’on lui ôte la peau, un de ces requins arracha presque la main du pauvre Queequeg quand il essaya de refermer la lèvre morte sur la mâchoire meurtrière

You are most welcome. I was looking to see if there were any open questions, etc., I could help close when I came on this one.
The important thing, for anyone who may come across this in the future, is that good results can often be found by searching for the more unusual terms in a quote and especially by including any proper names.
I hope you have a nice Sunday, as well.

Asker: Thank you very much John. This was a while ago but I remember getting criticism from Proz members for posting this. It was not out of laziness - I genuinely didn't know how to access & copy a chunk of a published work. Have a nice Sunday.
