Before long, we’ll be at the second lock where the ship will be raised in a very brief span of time some twenty or thirty meters; it’s incredible the amount of water that erupts from the sluice gates. For a short while, it will be like being inside an enormous shoe box and you’ll see only the cement wall sliding so close as to be able to touch it, then all at once, your eyes will be at ground level and the landscape will explode all around you as far as the eye can see [.…]. Having seen the average age of the passengers, I asked a waiter if it ever happened that anyone died during one of these cruises; he said yes and that the body is put ashore when everyone is sleeping […]. We have paid a lot and therefore we should eat a lot and the open-face sandwiches pass through our systems just as like we are passing up river. Far removed from here there are some people, the ship’s owners, that in some way it’s as if they are feeding themselves on us while on the “France” we are being transported along the Rhine […]: we are their open-face sandwiches.22
