In the first century BC, the Roman general Pompey encouraged afraid sailors to bring food from Africa to Rome during severe storms, inaugurating the phrase 'Navigare Necesse, non est vivere necesse' ( To sail is necessary;to live is not necessary). Since then others have used this sentence with different meanings, like Fernando Pessoa, Portugues poet which transforms it into a song of creation. Said him: ' I want to me the spirit of this sentence", confining the sense of his life to the process of artistic creation.
