= = =Grant Wood: American Gothic= == =Jame Yolen= Do not dwell on the fork, the brooch at the throat, the gothic angel wing of window painting toward a well-tended heaven. Do not become a farmer counting cows as if the number of the herd defines you. Look behind the eyes, to see who looks out at you. We are not what we own. We own what we would be.
