"But especially he loved to run

 in the dim twilight. . . 

 listening to the subdued and sleepy murmurs. . .

 reading signs and sounds

 as a man may read a book,

 and seeking for the mysterious something 

that called -- 

called,

 waking or sleeping,

 at all times, for him to come."

   Jack London 

(The Call of the Wild)

"Life is not a matter of holding good cards,
 but sometimes, playing a poor hand well." 

Jack London 

"One cannot violate

 the promptings of one's nature

without having that nature

 recoil upon itself."

Hawaii's sun 

mellows 

in the Autumn

Sleeps in

larks about

retires early

Less cruel

(Lahaina)

fully lovely to contemplate

as a mature

and beautiful

woman.
