Description
Excerpt from A Soul in Bronze: A Novel of Southern California The unclouded sun of Southern California flooded land and sea with glory. It is a sun that never smites. Its life-giving warmth sends the sluggish blood coursing with now vigor through the veins, draws the odor from the orange blossoms, the pungent scent from the eucalyptus trees, and sets the bees humming half-surfeited amidst the fragrant sage. Among the inland hills where the sea breeze died away and spent itself, the mesas lay singed with the summer drought and unshaded from the sky; and where a brown field curved its outline in the foreground the upward movement of the transparent air could be seen like the flickering currents above a heated stove.
