William and Maymie Kimes Annotation

For this Literary Pamphlet, the Book Club of California selected a letter Muir wrote to Mrs. Jeanne Carr in September 1874 relating his escape from Oakland to the mountains. He writes: "Few nights of my mountain life have been more eventful than that of my ride in the woods from Coulterville, when I made my reunion with the winds and the pines....Pure, white, lustrous clouds overshadowed the massive congregations of silver fir and pine. We entered and a thousand living arms were waved in solemn blessing. An infinity of mountain life. How complete is the absorption of one's life into the spirit of mountain woods!" See no. 254 for first and later use.
