Aurora borealis flaming coldly overhead
從雪橇犬角度看北極光:
在頭頂上冷冷燃燒的極光，或在霜凍中跳躍的星星，以及冰雪覆蓋下麻木凍結的大地，雪橇犬的歌聲仿佛是生命的反抗。然而，這哀歌調低，伴隨著長長的哀號與半淒的啜泣，更像是對生命的懇求，是存在的辛酸訴求。
Jackson London: The Call of the Wild
"With the aurora borealis flaming coldly overhead, or the stars leaping in the frost dance, and the land numb and frozen under its pall of snow, this song of the huskies might have been the defiance of life, only it was pitched in minor key, with long-drawn wailings and half-sobs, and was more the pleading of life, the articulate travail of existence."
