Robert Traver Quotes

I Swung Around Downtown And Slowed Down To Miss A Solitary Drunk Emerging Blindly From The Tripoli Bar And Out Upon The Street In A Sort Of Gangling Somnambulistic Trot, Pursued On His Way By The Hollow Roar Of The Juke Box From The Ghastly Lit And Empty Bar. 'Sunstroke,' I Murmured Absently. 'Simply A Crazed Victim Of The Midnight Sun.' As I Parked My Mud-spattered Coupe Alongside The Miners' State Bank, Across From My Office Over The Dime Store, I Reflected That There Were Few More Forlorn And Lonely Sounds Than The Midnight Wail Of A Jukebox In A Deserted Small Town, Those Raucous Proclamations Of Joy And Fun Where, Instead, There Dwelt Only Fatigue And Hangover And Boredom. To Me The Wavering Hoot Of An Owl Sounded Utterly Gay By Comparison.
