#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.
