Quotes
[last lines]
Levi Zendt: We can't choose the times we live in. We can only try to change the way they are a little while we're here. Think how it was, Lucinda. Before Pasquinel came. And McKeag. And think about Clay Basket; what she saw in her life time. Even what we've seen in ours. Men come and go; they talk about "my this, my that". "My land, my part of the river. My range, my crops, my town." But the truth is, it never belongs to any of us. It can't. Man can never claim the land; but the land always claims man in the end. And if a man has to die, this is a wonderful place, Lucinda. This is a wonderful place.
