Come sail your ships around me, And burn your bridges down -
Nick Cave
Goldfish
It must have been the scarcity of ideas or the lack of it that sent me sailing into the ocean in search of inspiration. Buoyed by the tales about the daughters of the river god Achelous, and of legendary pirates and their quest for the dead man's chest, I soon found myself drifting into unchartered waters. It wasn't long before I was engulfed by waves of loneliness. The vast emptiness had submerged my spirit and forced me to abandon ship.
