Quote from White Fang, which makes the Alaskan wilderness seem dynamic and emotional:

“A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without
movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in
it of laughter, but of laughter more terrible than any sadness-a laughter that was mirthless as the
smile of the Sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. It
was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the
effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen-hearted Northland Wild.”
