Houses are but badly built boats so firmly aground that you cannot think of moving them.
They are definitely inferior things, belonging to the vegetable not the animal world, rooted
and stationary, incapable of transition. The desire to build a house is the tired wish of a
man content thenceforward with a single anchorage. The desire to build a boat is the desire
of youth, unwilling yet to accept the idea of a final resting place.
