More From Sarah Orne Jewett

It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. so it happens that when i write of hunger, i am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one.
Food Writing Reality
I've always had great satisfaction out of writing the plays. i've not always had great satisfaction out of seeing them produced-although often i've had satisfaction there. when things go well in production, on opening there's no nicer feeling in the world-what could be nicer than watching an audience respond? you can't that from a book. it's a fine feeling to walk into the theater and see living people respond to something you've done.

There is another peculiar satisfaction in really hearing someone: it is like listening to the music of the spheres, because beyond the immediate message of the person, no matter what that might be, there is the universal. hidden in all of the personal communications which i really hear there seem to be orderly psychological laws, aspects of the same order we find in the universe as a whole. so there is both the satisfaction of hearing this person and also the satisfaction of feeling one's self in touch with what is universally true.

We do not weary of eating and sleeping every day, for hunger and sleepiness recur. without that we should weary of them. so, without the hunger for spiritual things, we weary of them. hunger after righteousness--the eighth beatitude.

Any object not interesting in itself may become interesting through becoming associated with an object in which an interest already exists. the two associated objects grow, as it were, together; the interesting portion sheds its quality over the whole; and thus things not interesting in their own right borrow an interest which becomes as real and as strong as that of any natively interesting thing.

So it persists, for many of us, hunger channeled into some internal circuitry of longing, routed this way and that, emerging in a thousand different forms. the diet form, the romance form, the addiction form, the overriding hunger for this purchase or that job, this relationship or that one. hunger may be insatiable by nature, it may be fathomless, but our will to fill it, our often blind tenacity in the face of it, can be extraordinary.
