Explore "John Brent" by Theodore Winthrop on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Yes, John Brent, you were right when you called Luggernel Alley a wonder of our continent.
I remember it now, -- I only saw it then; -- for those strong scenes of nature assault the soul whether it will or no, fight in against affirmative or negative resistance, and bide their time to be admitted as dominant over the imagination. It seemed to me then that I was not noticing how grand the precipices, how stupendous the cleavages, how rich and gleaming the rock faces in Luggernel Alley. My business was not to stare about, but to look sharp and ride hard; and I did it.
