Nautical & Unique French antique 18K gold sailing boat pendant Brooch

“But the true travelers are only those who leave just to be leaving; hearts light, like balloons,

They never turn aside from their fatality

And without knowing why they always say: "Let's go!"

Those whose desires have the form of the clouds,

And who, as a raw recruit dreams of the cannon,

Dream of vast voluptuousness, changing and strange,

Whose name the human mind has never known!”

                                                                      ----- “The Voyage” from Charles Baudelaire
