"What is terrifying partakes of the
abyss, three times linked to the unknown.
First, the time you fell into
the belly of the boat. [...] the belly of
this boat dissolves you into a nonworld
from which you cry out. This
boat is a womb, a womb abyss.
Although you are alone in this suffering,
you share in the unknown
with others whom you have yet to
know. This boat is your womb, a
matrix, and yet it expels you. This
boat: pregnant with as many dead
as living under sentence of death."
(Edouard Glissant, 1997)
