H.P. Oliver Quotes

Excerpted From Chapter 18
The Most Famous Sign In The World Was Only A Few Hundred Yards Above Me, And The Sight Of It Stopped Me In My Tracks. The Light Bulbs Surrounding The Letters Must Have Been Controlled By A Timer Of Some Kind Because They Were Off Now. But What Shocked Me Was The Scale. I Was Used To Seeing The Sign From A Distance. From This Perspective There Was No Sense Of The Word HOLLYWOODLAND. All I Saw Were Gigantic Letters Looming Dimly Above Me In The Moonlight Like Ancient Monoliths Erected In Tribute To The Gods Of Some Long-extinct Tribe.
A Primal Feeling Of Foreboding Prickled The Hairs On The Back Of My Neck. I Could Imagine The Traveler Of An Earlier Age Coming Across Stonehenge In The Dark And Experiencing A Similar Sensation.
