Between the Gates (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Between the Gates
This gypsy of a book has few facts and not a word of fiction; not so much as a dry fagot of statistics or a wing feather of a fancy.
How do you like California? Was the daily question, and to the uniform reply came the quick rejoinder: Ah, but you should see it in the winter, for the summer is in the winter.
The writer sympathizes with any reader who misses what he seeks in this small volume, and can only soften the winter of our discontent by saying: Ah, but you should know what pain it was to drown what had to be omitted!
Perhaps we two may meet again in the groves of Los Angeles, when the oranges are in the gold and the almond blossoms shine.
