Joseph Conrad: "Nellie, seorang elang jelajah, mengayun ke jangkarnya...

"Nellie, seorang elang jelajah, mengayun ke jangkarnya tanpa mengayunkan layar, dan beristirahat. Banjir telah membuat, angin hampir tenang, dan diikat ke sungai, satu-satunya hal yang akan datang dan menunggu pergantian gelombang."

--- Joseph Conrad
