This little piece of open space is officially call “George Sterling Park” in honor of poet George Sterling (1869-1926) who lived nearby. Jack London and his wife Charmain were frequent guests of Sterling. They, together with Jimmy Hopper and Mary Austin, formed the nucleus of the bohemian writer community in Carmel at the turn of the last century. Sterling’s poetry is a true celebration of the natural beauty that is this village by the sea. This is “Spring in Carmel”:
O'er Carmel fields in the springtime the sea-gulls follow the plow.
White, white wings on the blue above!
Tireless ever the Mission swallow
Dips to meadow and poppied hollow;
Well for her mate that he can follow,
As the buds are on the bough.
Congrats to HoffyP on the FTF...Manahoonie, what can I say, I'm pulling for ya man!!!
