Analysis of Another Sarah
Katherine Anne Porter 1890 (Indian Creek, Texas) – 1980 (Silver Spring, Maryland)
for Christopher Smart
When winter was half over
God sent three angels to the
apple-tree
Who said to her
"Be glad, you little rack
Of empty sticks,
Because you have been chosen.
In May you will become
A wave of living sweetness
A nation of white petals
A dynasty of apples."
