Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"Paula had always been passionately fond of music, painting, drawing.
As a little girl she could be traced around the house and grounds by
the trail she left behind her of images and shapes, made in whatever
medium she chanced upon--drawn on scraps of paper, scratched on bits
of wood, modeled in mud and sand.


"She loved everything, and everything loved her," said Mrs. Tully.
"She was never timid of animals. And yet she always stood in awe of
them; but she was born sense-struck, and her awe was beauty-awe. Yes,
she was an incorrigible hero-worshiper, whether the person was merely
beautiful or did things. And she never will outgrow that beauty--awe
of anything she loves, whether it is a grand piano, a great painting,
a beautiful mare, or a bit of landscape.
