	Poetry
		Ushant is a long lotus sleep, and as the title suggests, it is not only anti-epical, but a florid, comic pun.
		The scatalogical in Ushant is aprioristic word sport, or logomachy, and is as much the toy and triffle of an idle brain as the phlegm of frogs and the spittle of newts, which are factitious and not riggish.
		Ushant is based upon sensibility and imagery, and the ruttish joys of the ear instead of the mind.

	Conrad Aiken
		In his "autobiographical narrative" USHANT: AN ESSAY (1952), Aiken confessed that finding his parents dead, he "found himself possessed of them forever".
		Ushant depicted his friendships with Malcolm Lowry, T.S. Eliot, and other figures he knew.
		It dramatized the attempt of its protagonist, the author's persona, to read the palimpsest of hieroglyphs that constitutes the landscape of his soul, and mingled sketches of the literary generation between the wars with psychoanalytic free association.

	CNN.com - Peyron smashes round-world record - May 8, 2002
		USHANT, Brittany -- Frenchman Bruno Peyron and his 12-strong crew aboard the catamaran Orange have smashed the Jules Verne non-stop round-the-world sailing record.
		The offshore multihull skipper brought his 34-metre (110-foot) maxi catamaran across the Ushant finish line off the west coast of France at 1613 GMT on Sunday, knocking seven days off Olivier De Kersauson's 1997 record in Sport Elec.
		Peyron was the first holder of the trophy, the unlimited fully crewed non-stop around-the-world sprint, in 1993 sailing the 26m (85ft) catamaran Commodore Explorer in a time of 76 days, 6 hours and 13 minutes from Ushant back to Ushant off the west coast of France.

		She overcame the first hurdle during the night by crossing through a ridge of high pressure, and is now heading towards the north and a waypoint that Roger Nilson and Bruno Peyron fixed themselves near the Azores.
		Once they have reached this virtual point on the charts, the giant catamaran will then be able to head for Ushant, and they hope to cover more than 600 miles on the first two days of next week.
		We may finish late on the fifteenth, or during the night of the fifteenth, or maybe early on the sixteenth.

		In particular, the wreck there in 1896 of the passenger liner Drummond Castle, in which at least 240 lives were lost, still scars Britain's collective memory.

		The appearance of a review in our pages indicates only that we consider the work of sufficient value to merit criticism.

		With no wind to speak of, Olivier de Kersauson and his 10-man crew could either benefit or suffer from the high tides (tide coefficient 114), which are particularly strong at this Equinoctial time.
		These currents can reach over seven knots near the island of Ushant, so with no engine and no wind, the trimaran must approach the line with great care, but paradoxically, it is this same current that may help her cross it!
		At the time of Equinox, the day and night are of equal length, because the sun is above the earth's equator.
