| ...since we have perched away up here on top
of the hill near heaven I have the feeling of being a sort of scrub angel
& am more moved to help shove the clouds around, & get the stars
on deck promptly, & keep all things trim & ship-shape in the firmament
than to bother myself with the humble insect-interests & occupations
of the distant earth. - letter to Charles E. Perkins, May 8, 1874 |
