"... Take Gas. The petrol station on the empty road seems about to close down. The lights from the hut are almost fluorescent. The petrol pumps are garish splashes of red against a dense, dark background. The trees are solid and impenetrable - only the road continues, but it quickly disappears behind the building and there is no sign at all of where it might lead, if indeed it leads anywhere. And then there is the solitary, half-hidden figure. Is he turning off the pump, or hiding?It is impossible to tell. The only thing that is certain is that he is alone. And though by definition he is unaware of it, it is a loneliness he shares with nearly all the people who populate Hopper's world. ..."
