| Description |
In describing a nameless girl, "a dark girl" whom many people in the town of Winesburg, Ohio, considered "very beautiful," Sherwood Anderson in his story Paper Pills says she" ••• was like one who has discovered the sweetness of the twisted apples [which grew in an orchard outside of Winesburg], she could not get her mind fixed again upon the round perfect fruit that is eaten in the city apartments," The girl marries a Doctor Reefy who, in addition to ceaselessly writing profound thoughts upon little pieces of paper which he rolls into little paper pills and stuffs into his pockets, has hands which when closed look" ••• like clusters of unpainted wooden balls as large as walnuts fastened by steel rods." |
