Jack Kerouac: "Ketika kereta api mengerang, dan angin sungai berhembus...

"Ketika kereta api mengerang, dan angin sungai berhembus, membawa gema melalui lembah, seolah-olah seruan liar suara-suara, suara-suara sayang dari semua orang yang dikenalnya, menangis: "Peter, Peter! Kemana kamu pergi, Peter? " Dan embusan hujan besar turun. Dia memasang kerah jaketnya, dan menundukkan kepalanya, dan bergegas."

--- Jack Kerouac

Versi Bahasa Inggris

When the railroad trains moaned, and river-winds blew, bringing echoes through the vale, it was as if a wild hum of voices, the dear voices of everybody he had known, were crying: "Peter, Peter! Where are you going, Peter?" And a big soft gust of rain came down. He put up the collar of his jacket, and bowed his head, and hurried along.
