John Steinbeck said:
The log from the sea of Cortez.
The nature of the animal might parallel certain traits in ourselves - the outrageous boastfulness of porpoises, their love of play their joys in speed. We have watched them for many hours, making designs in the water, diving and rising and then seeming to turn speed they hump their backs and their beating tails take power from the whole body. Then they slow down and only the muscles near the tails are strained. They break the surface, and the blowholes, like eyes, open and gasp in air and then close like eyes before they submerge
Suddenly they seem to grow tired of playing; the bodies hump up, the incredible tails beat, and instantly they are gone. |
