Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


Crossing a bridge and rounding a sharp turn, they were suddenly
enveloped in a mysterious coolness and gloom. All about them
arose stately trunks of redwood. The forest floor was a rosy
carpet of autumn fronds. Occasional shafts of sunlight,
penetrating the deep shade, warmed the somberness of the grove.
Alluring paths led off among the trees and into cozy nooks made
by circles of red columns growing around the dust of vanished
ancestors--witnessing the titantic dimensions of those ancestors
by the girth of the circles in which they stood.
