“I will always remain an ideal and an unworthy lover of distant journeys and blue seas.”
The sea has always been an escape and a challenge for sailors. They leave the comfort of the land and launch into the unknown. But for many, the sea is their home, and the infinite sky their only companion. Nikos Cavadias knew this life well, as a poet and sailor himself. He wrote about the struggles and beauty of life at sea, capturing the essence of a sailor’s life. It is a life of hard work, long journeys and loneliness, but it is also a life of freedom and adventure. This illustration is inspired from his journey.
Nikos Cavadias 1910-1975. He was a Greek poet, writer, translator and sailor.
