Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Come and Find Me My Dear F. B.: I believe it to be commonly the practice of authors to write the dedication last. But I, being summoned by the laconic imperative of the Atlantic cable to exchange London for Florida, and being thereby arrested midway in what I have always thought of as your book, must needs recover some of the old impulse that you gave me to begin it, before I can go on. I invoke you as I would a breath of your invigorating Yorkshire, for I am captive in a land of idleness - myself idlest of all the easy, time-squandering folk that are making believe to finish my house here upon the sunburnt hilltop. This lodge in the wilderness, uplifted like an island above encompassing seas of green; this windswept, sun-steeped place, ought, perhaps (in spite of latitude and longitude), to give me back without your aid the picture and the feeling of the North. For the first word I set at the top of my page, though Indian, would not have been understanded of my ancient neighbors here. Not the Seminoles, the Alaskans gave us our name. I and another for whom it means home, pronounced it first to the rhythm of breakers beating on that wild Bering coast - in the midst of the pandemonium of the "farthest North" gold boom, we dreamed and planned the picture I look out upon this morning.
