"Free man, you will always cherish the sea!
The sea is your mirror; you contemplate your soul
In the infinite unrolling of its billows;
....
O eternal fighters, implacable brothers!"
- Charles Baudelaire Man and the Sea (translated by William Aggeler)
The words from this poem express the mysterious allure that the sea holds for man. Despite the often antagonistic relationship that has historically existed between man and the sea, sailing remains a popular pastime.
This fascination with the sea in general- and sailing in particular- is also evident in fabric. We carry an amazing array of sailing themed decorator fabric that can compliment virtually any project you have in mind. Let's take a look at some examples.
