The Wine of San Lorenzo

"The vast crescent backdrop of mountains began to merge into the darkening sky and a few stars glowed faintly through the incredibly clean air. It was both day and night, an overlapping of both, that infinite moment in the twenty-four hours that Juan Diego loved best..." -Herbert Gorman

Much of the book is downright cheesy actually using the terms "villainous" and "savage men" as a writer only could in 1945. But his flourish works well for certain applications. Mine is a used copy of course.
