A Separate Peace by John Knowles

p. 16

"He began scrambling up the wooden pegs nailed to the side of the tree, his back muscles working like a panther's."

page 41, paragraph 2, lines 12-21

"Very gradually, like one instrument after another being tentatively rehearsed, beacons of colour began to pierce the sky … the beach shed its deadness and became … totally white and stainless, as pure as the shores of Eden." (Publishing: Bantam edition | October 1975)
