No poet is ever completely lost. He has the secret of his childhood safe with him, like some secret cave in which he can kneel. And, when we read his poetry, we can join him there.
~ Peter Ackroyd

When Maddie and I went to Hannibal, MO, we toured Tom Sawyer's Cave. I asked her if it was how she pictured it. She said, "Not at all. There are tons more places to hit your head here than I pictured when I was reading the book."
