My notes on this reference #
Navigare necesse est, vivere non necesse. “It is necessary to sail the seas, it is not necessary to live.” - Motto of the Hanseatic League
- Fiction about the sea necessarily has much to do with the infinitude of the ocean, the ‘living fury of the waters’, the ‘unwavering enmity’ of the endless, endless rolling black waves - and ‘the death that is the deep sea’.
