“Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

with the obliging air of retrievers,”

“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
