"The harbor light is lit For other men; I turn once more to sea, Impelled by an indomitable spirit, By an excruciating love for life." It reminds me another poem that was written by Umberto Saba who titled it “Ulysses”.

“Il porto accende ad altri i suoi lumi; me al largo
sospinge ancora il non domato spirito,
e della vita il doloroso amore.”
“The harbor light is lit For other men;
I turn once more to sea, Impelled by an indomitable spirit,
By an excruciating love for life.”
