 the punt that I went off home. And while I was 

 sheaving across Broken Rocks the sun rose, orange- 

 coloured and immense, above the eastern cliffs. 

 The sea lighted up, faint pink and blue, as if it 

 had been a vast glow-lamp. That, above all, is 

 the sight which comes into my mind with recollec-

 Jim says, 'Well, let's get up-over, and see what 

 the morrow '11 bring forth.' When, returning 

 home from seining at peep o' day, I see the sun 

 rise so, upon a grey land and sea, above the eastern 

 cliff, it seems to me not that the morrow is being 

 brought forth — which would be simply dawn — 

 but that the morrow is bringing forth what the 

 morrow has in store; that the future, up there, is 

 looking down upon us with steady eye.
