1 He looked across the sea and knew how alone he was now.
2 There was no pot of yellow rice and fish and the boy knew this too.
3 It was all he would have all day and he knew that he should take it.
4 But he knew he would shiver himself warm and that soon he would be rowing.
5 He did not say that because he knew that if you said a good thing it might not happen.
6 This time it was a tentative pull, not solid nor heavy, and he knew exactly what it was.
7 He knew he would need his hands before this was over and he did not like to be cut before it started.
8 But he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride.
9 There was yellow weed on the line but the old man knew that only made an added drag and he was pleased.
10 He knew that if he could not slow the fish with a steady pressure the fish could take out all the line and break it.
11 He knew what a huge fish this was and he thought of him moving away in the darkness with the tuna held crosswise in his mouth.
12 He thought of how some men feared being out of sight of land in a small boat and knew they were right in the months of sudden bad weather.
13 The old man knew he was going far out and he left the smell of the land behind and rowed out into the clean early morning smell of the ocean.
14 They were moving more slowly now and the glow of Havana was not so strong, so that he knew the current must be carrying them to the eastward.
15 He tried to increase the tension, but the line had been taut up to the very edge of the breaking point since he had hooked the fish and he felt the harshness as he leaned back to pull and knew he could put no more strain on it.
16 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.
17 But tonight the smell of the land breeze came very early and he knew it was too early in his dream and went on dreaming to see the white peaks of the Islands rising from the sea and then he dreamed of the different harbours and roadsteads of the Canary Islands.
