If you want to build a ship

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

To travel far

To travel far, there is no better ship than a book.

Per viaggiar lontano non esiste miglior vascello che un libro.

(Emily Dickinson)

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

At lenght did cross an Albatross,
Thorough the fog it came […].

Alla fine ci incrociò un albatros,
Arrivò attraverso la nebbia […].
