    • Favorite things; Favorite sounds;

    • "I have just seen and felt and heard a beautiful thing. It has no name - twilight stealing down; the dark ragged mountain rising into the pale blue sky; Wordsworth's one fair star, and a wisp of purple clouds - gleaming shadowy waters, with lights...

    • Zane Grey Diary - 24 June, 1911

    • Favorite sounds

    • "It [song of locusts] was a low continuous humming trill, not so sweet or high as that of frogs, yet more haunting and compelling. I seemed to hear something in that sad song. I began to feel that I must include it in my list of well-loved...

    • Favorite sounds, things;

    • "A lore of the sound of running water was born in me. During my youth at Dillon's Falls this feeling developed, and has grown with the years. That old sound of Licking Creek I can never forget - a soft low murmur of water running over stones. At...

    • Favorite sounds

    • "The mournful creak of the bar between the ash-trees in the yard mingled with the intermittent ringing of the cow-bell tied to one of the limbs. These are familiar sounds that delight my ear. For the bell is one I used to put on my house in Grand...

    • Zane Grey Diary - 28 Feb, 1911

    • Favorite sounds

    • "And in spite of my hurry, familiar sounds kept breaking my efforts so that I had to stop and listen. My bell in the ash-tree, the old bell that used to jangle on my mustangs in Arizona, it really seemed to be welcoming me home. The ash-tree...

    • Zane Grey Diary - 9 Jun, 1907

    • Frogs; Favorite sounds;

    • "The April chirping of frogs always roused in me sensations thrilling and strange, almost impalpable. The quick sharp notes are suggestive of twilight in early spring, of cool nights, of flooded streams and marshy ponds. Something like that of...
