Mountain dog Quotes

“My heart was in a steep place before I knew you would come home.”

The heart in the steep place, expressing trouble; the clean-inside heart, expressing joy. Among these people it was always the heart that spoke. Such warm, enfolding thankfulness came to Hal that he dared not trust his voice.”
― Hubert Evans, Mountain dog

“The poles were crude copies of his father’s totem pole out there near the point: grizzly bear, owl, wolf, beaver, all signifying descent and brave deeds of old. If you held to the old ways, the figures on a person’s totem pole were strictly his own. They were property as real as canoes and weapons and hunting grounds.”
― Hubert Evans, Mountain dog
