Note Relating to Cather
"The artist is bound to his native soil more closely than the serf who plods in the furrow.... Hawthorne carried his Puritanism even into Italy, carried it with such conviction and power that the Faun of the Capitol has scarcely smiled so joyously since that grave New Englander looked into his eyes, with mute misunderstanding, across the gulf of so many centuries."
