about

"Et vous, Mers, qui lisiez dans de plus vastes songes, nous laisserez-vous un soir aux rostres de la Ville, parmi la pierre publique et les pampres de bronze ?

Plus large, ô foule, notre audience sur ce versant d'un âge sans déclin : la Mer, immense et verte comme une aube à l'orient des hommes,
La Mer en fête sur ses marches comme une ode de pierre : vigile et fête à nos frontières, murmure et fête à hauteur d'hommes - la Mer elle-même notre veille, comme une promulgation divine...

L'odeur funèbre de la rose n'assiégera plus les grilles du tombeau; l'heure vivante dans les palmes ne taira plus son âme d'étrangère... Amères, nos lèvres de vivants le furent-elles jamais ?"

Saint-John Perse

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"But what has become of the Nautilus? Did it resist the pressure of the maelstrom? Does Captain Nemo still live? And does he still follow under the ocean those frightful retaliations? Or, did he stop after that last hecatomb? Will the waves one day carry to him this manuscript containing the history of his life? Shall I ever know the name of this man? Will the missing vessel tell us by its nationality that of Captain Nemo?
I hope so. And I also hope that his powerful vessel has conquered the sea at its most terrible gulf, and that the Nautilus has survived where so many other vessels have been lost! If it be so- if Captain Nemo still inhabits the ocean, his adopted country, may hatred be appeased in that savage heart! May the contemplation of so many wonders extinguish forever the spirit of vengeance! May the judge disappear, and the philosopher continue the peaceful exploration of the sea! If his his destiny be strange, it is also sublime. Have I not understood it myself? Have I not lived ten months of this this unnatural life? And to the question asked by Ecclesiastes 3,000 years ago, "That which is far off and exceeding deep, who can find it out?" two men alone of all now living have the right to give an answer - Captain Nemo and myself."

Jules Verne
