excerpt from Around the World on a Bicycle
by Thomas Stevens
The beauties of nature are scattered with a more lavish hand across the country lying between the summit of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and
the shores where the surf romps and rolls over the golden sands of the Pacific, in Golden Gate Park, than in a journey of the same length in any
other part of the world. Such, at least, is the verdict of many whose fortune it has been to traverse that favored stretch of country. Nothing but
the limited power of man's eyes prevents him from standing on the top of the mountains and surveying, at a glance, the whole glorious
panorama that stretches away for more than two hundred miles to the west, terminating in the gleaming waters of the Pacific Ocean. Could he
do this, he would behold, for the first seventy-five or eighty miles, a vast, billowy sea of foot-hills, clothed with forests of somber pine and bright,
evergreen oaks; and, lower down, dense patches of white-blossomed chaparral, looking in the enchanted distance like Irregular banks of snow.
Then the world-renowned valley of the Sacramento River, with its level plains of dark, rich soll, its matchless flelds of ripening grain, traversed
here and there by streams that, emerging from the shadowy depths of the foot-hills, wind their way, like gleaming threads of silver, across the
fertile plain and join the Sacramento, which receives them, one and all, in her matronly bosom and hurries with them on to the sea.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
