Mary Hunter Austin Quote

For all the toll the desert takes of a man it gives compensations, deep breaths, deep sleep, and the communion of the stars.


The Land of Little Rain (1903)


For all the toll the desert takes of a man it gives compensations, deep breaths, deep sleep, and the communion of the stars.

For all the toll the desert takes of a man it gives compensations, deep breaths, deep sleep, and the communion of the stars.

For all the toll the desert takes of a man it gives compensations, deep breaths, deep sleep, and the communion of the stars.

For all the toll the desert takes of a man it gives compensations, deep breaths, deep sleep, and the communion of the stars.
