For the eyes spread out until there was no Chinaman. And then it was one eye--one huge brown eye as big as a church door. Andy looked through the shiny transparent brown door and through it he saw a lonely country-side, flat for miles but ending against a row of fantastic mountains shaped like cows’ and dogs’ heads and tents and mushrooms. There was low coarse grass on the plain and here and there a little mound. And a small animal like a woodchuck sat on each mound. And a small animal like a woodchuck sat on each mound. And the lonliness--the desolate cold aloneness of the landscape made Andy whimper because there wasn’t anybody at all in the world and he was left. (Steinbeck 21-22)
