Between chapter 13 and 14

[sachababs]

here is a tiny french message between 13 and 14 translated into english:

"Oh death, old captain, it is time! Let us weigh the anchor! This country annoys us, oh death! Install! If the sky and the sea are black like ink, our hearts which you know are filled with rays!"

What does it mean and who is the captain?

[Dante]

It's an extract from a poem, The Voyage, by French poet Charles Baudelaire, as has been mentioned in the discussion thread and this thread on the subject; you can see the full poem and translations here.
