The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway) ; Ethan Frome (Edith Wharton)

Tija

This will kill him, the old man thought. He can’t  do this forever. But four hours later the fish was still swimming steadily out to sea, towing the skiff, and the old man was still braced solidly with the line across his back.

There are two more hours before the sun sets and maybe he will come up before that. If he doesn't maybe he will come up with the moon. If he does not do that maybe he will come up with the sunrise.

"Fish," he said softly, aloud, "I'll stay with you until I am dead.

I must get him alongside this time, he thought. I am not good for many more turns. Yes you are, he told himself. You're good for ever.
