"La nave dormiva.
                                                                                                                  Il mare si stendeva lontano
                                                                                                                  immenso e caliginoso,
                                                                                                                  come l'immagine della vita,
                                                                                                                  con la superficie scintillante
                                                                                                                  e le profondità senza luce"
