Excerpt from Golden Songs of the Golden State By the trite and dull effusions in praise of it. Her mountain peaks Chiselled singly, Clean and hard against the sky, or ranged in an august uneven line of power and beauty, her lovable foothills sloping in steep curves to the coast, her mild, sweet-scented valleys with their straitly confined orchards of almond, orange and plum, with their crisp fields of barley stubble in summertime and their riot of wild mustard in the spring, her winding trails leading always into El Camino Real or into the desert beyond the mountains, her gusty distances of desert or sea shore, her forests born before Christ, her hundreds of species of wild birds, her tawny sum mers and green winters, her sharp, exquisite lights and shadows and keen colors - these things no poet, no lover of beauty can forget. Nowhere else can one climb higher or plumb deeper the depths and heights of varied beauty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
