from "The Tale of the Unknown Island"
by~~ Jose Saramago
...The harbormaster reread the king's visiting card, then asked, Can you tell me why you want the boat, to go to the unknown island, There are no unknown islands left, That's just what the king said to me, He learned everything he knows about islands from me, It's odd that you, a man of the sea, should say to me that there are no unknown islands left, I'm a man of the land and yet I know that even known islands remain unknown until we set foot on them...
