...gazes and looks, and dreams for hours together, the way I used to when young, and still should if I had youth's leisure. I recall writing in the same vein about the contemporary student's approach to literature.

...sorts of things have been added: fantasy, turgid humor, breathless monologues. "It's happening, Moss, all of it . . . It's all true!" Hamilton whispers to himself. But the muse that spurred Moss Hart to fame has clearly strayed. If this were an out-of-town tryout, the closing notice would have gone up in Boston.

White-tailed deer browse in the bottom land. Deep among the whispering pine and the hemlock, among the silver aspen and birch, the bears dig into windfalls for grubs. Rainbow trout, cutthroat and whitefish tumble in Beetle and Winkum Creeks...
