“Show me the place.”
Duke Senior
in As You Like It (2.1)
95: South Casco, Maine; childhood home of Nathaniel Hawthorne,* 1812-25; June 30, 2007
It’s rural Main—extremely so.
It seems in some ways off the grid.
But we drove there some years ago—
Back then, the sort of thing we did.
The house was open—got to see
The nice work they have done inside.
And such are thrills for Joyce and me—
The nerds who want things clarified.
*Hawthorne (1804–64)
