Monterey, California

"I have never resisted change, even when it has been called progress, and yet I felt resentment toward the strangers swamping what I thought of as my country with noise and clutter and the inevitable rings of junk. And of course these new people will resent the newer people. We who were born here and our parents also felt a strange superiority over newcomers, barbarians, 'forestieri', and they, the foreigners, resented us and even made a rude poem about us:

The miner came in forty-nine
The whores in fifty-one.
And when they got together,
They made a Native Son."

John Steinbeck, in "Travels With Charley"

"I remember the black wharves and the slips,
And the sea-tides tossing free;
And Spanish sailors with bearded lips,
And the beauty and mystery of the ships,
And the magic of the sea.
And the voice of that wayward song
Is singing and saying still:
'A boy's will is the wind's will
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.' "

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, in "My Lost Youth"
