1 The land must make a difference too, in the shape of the clouds.
2 The sky was clouding over to the east and one after another the stars he knew were gone.
3 It looked now as though he were moving into a great canyon of clouds and the wind had dropped.
4 There were high cumulus clouds and enough cirrus above them so that the old man knew the breeze would last all night.
5 He had come up from deep down in the water as the dark cloud of blood had settled and dispersed in the mile deep sea.
6 The clouds over the land now rose like mountains and the coast was only a long green line with the gray blue hills behind it.
7 The moon had been up for a long time but he slept on and the fish pulled on steadily and the boat moved into the tunnel of clouds.
8 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.
9 He could not see the green of the shore now but only the tops of the blue hills that showed white as though they were snow-capped and the clouds that looked like high snow mountains above them.
10 The clouds were building up now for the trade wind and he looked ahead and saw a flight of wild ducks etching themselves against the sky over the water, then blurring, then etching again and he knew no man was ever alone on the sea.
