Capitano

"You love the sea, Captain? - Yes! I love it! The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe, and his breath is pure and healthy, is the immense desert where man is never alone, because life feels quivering beside him ... The sea is nothing but the vehicle of a 'extraordinary and miraculous existence, it is not moving and that love is the infinite living "...
(Jule Verne, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea")
