Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


In vain I waited for him to start some popular song. His records
were only of the best, and the care he took of them was a revelation.
He handled each one reverently, as a sacred thing, untying and
unwrapping it and brushing it with a fine camel's hair brush while it
revolved and ere he placed the needle on it. For a time all I could
see was the huge brute hands of a brute-driver, with skin off the
knuckles, that expressed love in their every movement. Each touch on
the discs was a caress, and while the record played he hovered over
it and dreamed in some heaven of music all his own.
