Estragon: I remember the maps of the Holy Land. Coloured they were. Very pretty. The Dead Sea was pale blue. The very look of it made me thirsty. That's where we'll go, I used to say, that's where we'll go for our honeymoon. We'll swim. We'll be happy.

In "Waiting for Godot," the character Estragon reminisces about beautiful colored maps of the Holy Land, which he finds appealing. He recalls the Dead Sea depicted as pale blue and describes how its appearance evoked a thirst within him. This nostalgic memory inspires him to dream about going there for a honeymoon, envisioning a joyful experience of swimming and happiness.

This passage reflects Estragon's longing for a simple and joyful life, highlighting the theme of hope amidst uncertainty. His desire to travel to the Dead Sea symbolizes a quest for fulfillment and contentment, contrasting with the bleak reality portrayed throughout the play.
