      C'était le contraire d'un voyage. Plutôt que moyen de transport, le bateau nous semblait demeure et foyer, à la porte duquel le plateau tournant du monde eût arrêté chaque jour un décor nouveau.
      — It was the opposite of a voyage. More than a means of transport, the ship seemed to us to be a dwelling-place and a home, in front of which the revolving stage of the world would halt some new setting every morning.[1]
