The Open Boat
- “None of them knew the colour of the sky. All of them knew the colour of the sea”
- “diabolical punishment”
- “Funny they don’t see us”
- “She cannot drown me. Not after all this work”
- “She was indifferent, flatly indifferent”
- “the tower was a giant facing its back to the plight of the ants”
- “How in the name of all that is sane was there people in the world who thought it was amusing to row a boat?”
- “If I am going to be drowned, why am I allowed to come thus far and contemplate the sands and trees”
- “It was difficult to describe the subtle brotherhood established on the seas”
- “snarling and hissing”
