But that's not what ships are built for.


A ship is safe in the harbor,
But that's not what ships are built for.

Because in the sum of our human gleams,
We have created the vessel for our dreams.

Its purpose: to retrieve the alien shore,
To scout, seek, achieve and explore.

...And the harbored ships that fritter away,
Slowly begin to rot and decay.

(Gael Attal, 2009)
