Valley High

“I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained.

—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“How tall the buildings were as I began
To live, and how high the rain that battered them!”
