Inexorable, the harbour is going nowhere, it has nothing else to do. It will beat on this jetty day after day until it was broken, until it is out of its way. Such forces have hewn valleys between mountains, this little structure of wood and steel will be beaten down if the harbour has to wait until the end of civilisation to do it. And what has civilisation been, but a blink in the water's eye, a ripple in history?
