Make voyages! Attempt them... there's nothing else.

The line urges a life of risk, movement, and self-invention: “voyages” stand for any deliberate venture into the unknown—creative work, love, travel, or personal reinvention. The imperative tone (“Make… Attempt…”) rejects passivity and safety as forms of spiritual stagnation. The final clause (“there’s nothing else”) intensifies the claim into an existential credo: meaning is not found in comfort or certainty but in the act of trying, failing, and trying again. Read in light of Williams’s recurring themes—restlessness, desire, escape, and the costs of confinement—the quote functions as both encouragement and warning: the alternative to attempting “voyages” is a kind of living death.
