The spell of Alaska falls upon every lover of beauty who has voyaged along those far northern snow-pearled shores with the violet waves of the North Pacific Ocean breaking splendidly upon them; or who has drifted down the mighty rivers of the interior which flow, bell-toned and lonely, to the sea.
Ella Higginson, Alaska, The Great Country (1908) [full text]
the “spell of alaska” is the perfect way to put it. i love that place.
