Dear teachers,
This is a quote from the book "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London. My question is what do the two "it" refer to, "the perfect joy, or "each separate muscle, join, and sinew?"
He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars and over the face of dead matter that did not move."
Thanks!
