Carl Sandburg Quotes
Once She Had Thrown A Square Of Birch Bark Into The Fire When Her Father Came In The Door. He Might Then Have Asked Her Why Her Quill Pen Had Shaped A Row Of Straight And Crooked Question Marks And After Each One An Exclamation Point
in Rows Of Ten, Perhaps Forty Running Along
?! ?! ?! ?!
arranged In Pairs Or Couples. If He Had Asked Her What Is This Folderol And What Can This Nonsense Mean She Would Have Said The Same She Said When Shaping Them With Her Pen, One Pair, One Couple After Another. Each Question Mark Stands For My Ignorance And Asks If I May Learn And Know The Answer. And Each Exclamation Point Stands For My Surprise At How Little I Know, My Amazement At My Vast Ignorance, My Utter Astonishment At How Much There Is For Me To Learn.
