John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
And you know what it is? San Francisco a golden handcuff with the key thrown away.
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck
A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool.
John Steinbeck
