Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"That's right, come to think of it. There's Joaquin Miller, lives
out in the hills back of Fruitvale. He's certainly odd. It's
right near his place where I proposed to you. Just the same I
thought poets wore whiskers and eyeglasses, an' never tripped up
foot-racers at Sunday picnics, nor run around with as few clothes
on as the law allows, gatherin' mussels an' climbin' like goats."


That night, under the blankets, Saxon lay awake, looking at the
stars, pleasuring in the balmy thicket-scents, and listening to
the dull rumble of the outer surf and the whispering ripples on
the sheltered beach a few feet away. Billy stirred, and she knew
he was not yet asleep.
