“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“The apparent ease of California life is an illusion, and those who believe the illusion will live here in only the most temporary way.”
