A good joke will sell quicker than a good poem, and, measured in sweat and blood, will bring better remuneration.
Jack London
Image

On the sled, in the box, lay a third man whose toil was over, - a man whom the Wild had conquered and beaten down until he would never move nor struggle again. It is not the way of the Wild to like movement. Life is an offense to it, for life is movement and the Wild aims always to destroy movement.
