“Is there something in trade that dessicates and flattens out, that turns men into dried leaves at the age of forty? Certainly there is.

—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)

“I’ve been opened and undressed.
I have no arms or legs.
I’m all one skin like a fish.
I’m no more a woman
than Christ was a man.”

“Grandfather, you were the pillar of fire in front of the camp and now we are left in the camp alone, in the dark; and we are so cold and so sad.”
