    “The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The
    brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on
    the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face
    and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords.
    But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless
    desert. “
