The sun came down through miles of leaves and got broken up like a pointillist painting, deep green and dapple shadows but brilliant light in a soaring deep green super- bower, a perpetual lime- green light, green- and- gold afternoon, stillness, perpendicular peace, wood- scented, with the cars going by on Route 84 just adding pneumatic sound effects, sheee- ooooooooo, like a gentle wind.
—Tom Wolfe, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, 1968
