    “My grandmother stood among her kettles and ladles.
    Smiling, in faulty grammar,
    She praised my fortune and urged my lofty career.

    How she poured confusion out, how she cooled and labeled
    All the wild sauces of the brimming year.”
    —Mary Oliver (b. 1935)

    “It is a great shock at the age of five or six to find that in a world of Gary Coopers you are the Indian.”
