Influences: "This little expedition had become tremendously important to us; we felt as though we were dying. Strangers came to the pier and stared at us and small boys dropped on our deck like monkeys. Those quiet men who always stand on piers asked where we were going and when we said, "To the Gulf of California" their eyes melted with longing, they wanted to go so badly. They were like the men and women who stand about airports and railroad stations; they want to go away, and most of all they want to go away from themselves. For they do not know they would carry their globes of boredom with them wherever they went."

"They would stay for weeks, not moving nor talking except now and then to one another in soft little voices as gentle as whispers. Their dark eyes never leave us. They ask no questions. They seem actually to be dreaming.....They seemed to live on remembered things, to be so related to the seashore and the rocky hills and the loneliness that they are these things. To ask about the country is like asking about themselves. "How many toes have you?" "What, toes? Let's see - of course, ten. I have known them all my life, I never thought to count them. Of course it will rain tonight, I don't know why. Something in me tells me it will rain tonight. Of course, I am the whole thing, now that I think about it. I ought to know when I will rain." The dark eyes, whites brown and stained, have curious red lights in the pupils. They seem to be a dreaming people.....They bring a hush with them, and when they go away one's own voice sounds loud and raw."

"After the dryness of the mountain it was good to come back to the sea again. one who was born by the ocean or has associated with it cannot ever be quite content away from it for very long."
