“ In this final phase, which remains our own, the best picture of God is the hummingbird.”

“ I soon discovered that almost all the actors I‘d begun to assemble on my little stage…were fanatical about hummingbirds…my attempts to trace the origins of this informal cult of hummingbirds,kept leading back to the Civil War…American during and after the Civil War gradually left behind a static view of existence…they came to see a new dynamism and movement in their lives…This dynamism… found perfect expression in the hummingbird.”

Pudd'nhead Wilson: A Tale | Mark Twain

I read this because my nephew has to read it for American Lit in college, and he'd like me to look over his essay. Try as I might, I just don't enjoy reading Twain. I can't shake the feeling that he was his own biggest fan.
