In this essay I've tried to talk of raising the anchor. And of deciding to raise anchor, the moment of pure power, exaltation that precedes the beginning of the crossings, or its necessity, its suggestion that refers the sailor to the writer, the sea to writing, the orientation to memory. The stars, which guide the sailors, etymologically they have to do with the de-desire: of movement, of return, of wandering. It is the most powerful suggestion of all: literature as a journey, geographical and symbolic, of existence.

Abstract

In this essay I've tried to talk of raising the anchor. And of deciding to raise anchor, the moment of pure power, exaltation that precedes the beginning of the crossings, or its necessity, its suggestion that refers the sailor to the writer, the sea to writing, the orientation to memory. The stars, which guide the sailors, etymologically they have to do with the de-desire: of movement, of return, of wandering. It is the most powerful suggestion of all: literature as a journey, geographical and symbolic, of existence.
