#December 7, 1873
#OTD Willa #Cather, American #Writer, is born.
#Remembered for her novels of #Frontier life like #OPioneers!, Willa won a #Pulitzer for her #WWI novel called #OneOfOurs.
Here’s an excerpt from #MyAntonia:
The #Earth was warm under me, & warm as I crumbled it through my fingers.
I was something that lay under the #Sun & felt it, like the #Pumpkins, & I did not want to be anything more.
At any rate, that is #Happiness; to be dissolved into something complete & great.

Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.”
