Joy! Joy!

“What a day it was! A day of purple and gold, the proud colors of the Salinas High School. A squadron of baby angels maneuvered at twelve hundred feet, holding a pink cloud on which the word J-O-Y flashed on and off. A seagull with a broken wing took off and flew straight up into the air, squawking, ‘Joy! Joy!’ ”

—John Steinbeck, Sweet Thursday, 1954.
