| Love in a Box When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment. On a Friday night I 1 at the dinner table, "My teacher said we have to bring a box, a special box, for our Valentines (情人节) on Monday." Mother said, "We'll see", and she continued eating. What did "We'll see" mean? I had to have that box 2 my second grade Valentine's Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn't love me enough to help me with my 3 . All Saturday I waited 4 and with Sunday arriving, my concern increased, but I 5 an enquiry about the box might 6 anger or loud voice, for in my house children only ask once. More than that 7 trouble. Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful 8 of different kinds. A(n) 9 shoebox rested on top of it. 10 flooded through me when Daddy said, "Let's get started 11 your project." In the next hour my father 12 the shoebox into an impressive valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts 13 to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked.

It was the first time that my father devoted so much 16 to me, for his world consisted of work only. The holiday party arrived, and my classmates put cards, and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until dismissal time 17 . On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to 18 . The love that filled it meant more to me than all inside. The valentine box became a symbol of his love that 19 through decades of other Valentine's Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none 20 compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox. | ||||

| I don't know how I became a writer, but I think it was because of a certain force in me that had to write and that finally burst through and found a channel. My people were of the working class of people. My father, a stone-cutter, was a man with a great respect and veneration (崇敬) for literature. He had a tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, and the poetry that he loved best was naturally of the rhetorical kind that such a man would like. Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlet's Soliloquy, Macbeth, Mark Antony's "Funeral Oration", Grey's "Elegy",and all the rest of it. I heard it all as a child; I memorized and learned it all. He sent me to college to the state university. The desire to write, which had been strong during all my days in high school, grew stronger still.I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine,etc., and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in play writing which had just been established there. I wrote several little one-act plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man,never daring to believe I could seriously become a writer. Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more plays there,became obsessed with (着迷 于) the idea that I had to be a playwright, left Harvard, had my plays rejected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly been able to determine. But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its channel, I began to write my first book in London. I was living all alone at that time. I had two rooms-a bedroom and a sitting room-in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick and cream-yellow-plaster look. |
