Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


On the elevated sections of the road they felt the cool,
delicious breeze from the Pacific forty miles away; while from
each little dip and hollow came warm breaths of autumn earth,
spicy with sunburnt grass and fallen leaves and passing flowers.


They came to the rim of a deep canyon that seemed to penetrate to
the heart of Sonoma Mountain. Again, with no word spoken, merely
from watching Saxon, Billy stopped the wagon. The canyon was
wildly beautiful. Tall redwoods lined its entire length. On its
farther rim stood three rugged knolls covered with dense woods of
spruce and oak. From between the knolls, a feeder to the main
canyon and likewise fringed with redwoods, emerged a smaller
canyon. Billy pointed to a stubble field that lay at the feet of
the knolls.
