The Works of William Dean Howells

“I am not sorry for having wrought in common, crude material so much; that is the right American stuff; and perhaps hereafter, when my din is done, if any one is curious to know what that noise was, it will be found to have proceeded from a small insect which was scraping about on the surface of our life and trying to get into its meaning for the sake of the other insects larger or smaller.”
—William Dean Howells, in a 1903 letter to Charles Eliot Norton, reprinted in Life in Letters of William Dean Howells
