“When they turn the sun
on again I’ll plant children
under it, I’ll light up my soul
with a match and let it sing....”

“Anyone can see that to write Uncle Tom’s Cabin on the knee in the kitchen, with constant calls to cooking and other details of housework to punctuate the paragraphs, was a more difficult achievement than to write it at leisure in a quiet room.”
