"As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail away
There'll be wind in the canyon
Moon on the rise
As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail away."
Neil Young, Sail Away
"I set sail
On this crucifixion Friday
With the stormy heavens
Crushing the sea
And my heart
Twisted
With dying."
J.P. Donleavy, The Ginger Man
"Je suis né dans un port et depuis mon enfance
J’ai vu passer par là des pays bien divers.
Attentif à la brise et toujours en partance.
Mon cœur n’a jamais pris le chemin de la mer."
Jean de La Ville de Mirmont, L'horizon chimérique
