"Environment"
is as weak a word as any
to express
the unnameable kinship
of man to nature:
the queer fraternity
that causes stones,
and trees and salt water
and clouds
to play upon
our emotions.

In many of his lesser known stories, what I like most about O Henry
ReplyDeleteis that you can hear him having fun with the English language
These stories are just as good as The Gift Of The Maji.
100% agreement from me
Deleteand what is utterly startling
is how many great (or almost great) movies
sound like alterations of these stories
Let us all thank the god (gods) of our choice
for John Steinbeck and O Henry's Full House
