« C’est un coin dans le port, loin des coques pimpantes. Le cimetière des bateaux. Immobiles dans l’eau bleue, ils font moins penser aux voyages qu’à l’idée même de voyage. Leur structure fragile est une forme de pensée, celle des charpentiers de marine et celle des marins. Ce ne sont pas des os, ce ne sont pas des planches, mais quelque chose entre les deux, un désir enlisé qui ne renonce pas à son principe, à son essor. Aristocrates au-dessus de leur sort, ils aiment qu’un peu d’eau vienne bouger dans la lumière sur leurs flancs, les révéler et les dissoudre. Au cimetière les bateaux ne sont pas morts. »
