1 All my life the early sun has hurt my eyes, he thought.
2 It was quite light and any moment now the sun would rise.
3 When the boy came back the old man was asleep in the chair and the sun was down.
4 There are two more hours before the sun sets and maybe he will come up before that.
5 The sun was two hours higher now and it did not hurt his eyes so much to look into the east.
6 During the day he had taken the sack that covered the bait box and spread it in the sun to dry.
7 It was cold after the sun went down and the old man's sweat dried cold on his back and his arms and his old legs.
8 The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks.
9 The sun was hot now and the old man felt it on the back of his neck and felt the sweat trickle down his back as he rowed.
10 As he looked down into it he saw the red sifting of the plankton in the dark water and the strange light the sun made now.
11 His shirt had been patched so many times that it was like the sail and the patches were faded to many different shades by the sun.
12 The strange light the sun made in the water, now that the sun was higher, meant good weather and so did the shape of the clouds over the land.
13 The sun rose thinly from the sea and the old man could see the other boats, low on the water and well in toward the shore, spread out across the current.
14 Then the sun was brighter and the glare came on the water and then, as it rose clear, the flat sea sent it back at his eyes so that it hurt sharply and he rowed without looking into it.
15 The tuna shone silver in the sun and after he had dropped back into the water another and another rose and they were jumping in all directions, churning the water and leaping in long jumps after the bait.
16 He lay in the stern in the sun, compact and bullet shaped, his big, unintelligent eyes staring as he thumped his life out against the planking of the boat with the quick shivering strokes of his neat, fast-moving tail.
17 The myriad flecks of the plankton were annulled now by the high sun and it was only the great deep prisms in the blue water that the old man saw now with his lines going straight down into the water that was a mile deep.
