The Triumph Of The Egg
A Book Of Impressions From American Life In Tales And Poems
By Sherwood Anderson
In Clay By Tennessee Mitchell
In the fields Seeds on the air floating. In the towns Black smoke for a shroud. In my breast Understanding awake. Mid American Chants .
To Robert And John Anderson
Tales are people who sit on the doorstep of the house of my mind. It is cold outside and they sit waiting. I look out at a window.
The tales have cold hands, Their hands are freezing.
A short thickly-built tale arises and threshes his arms about. His nose is red and he has two gold teeth.
There is an old female tale sitting hunched up in a cloak.
