Flight Into California, Hand Colored Etching

“To the red country and part of the gray country of Oklahoma,
the last rains came gently, and they did not cut the scarred earth…

The clouds appeared, and went away, and in a while they did not try any more. The weeds grew darker green to protect themselves, and they did not spread any more. The surface of the earth crusted, a thin hard crust, and as the sky became pale, pink in the red country and white in the gray country….

The wind grew stronger, whisked under stones, carried up straws and old leaves, and even little clods, marking its course as it sailed across the fields. The air and the sky darkened and through them the sun shone redline and there was a raw sting in the air… ” 
Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
