O My God ... I Am Quoting O HENRY, Environmentally

________________________________________________________________________________________________


"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
    is 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
      and 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
