epigram from “Tom Outland’s Story,” in Willa Cather, The Professor’s House (1925) : *

“This was the first time I ever saw it as a whole. It all came together in my undertanding, as a series of experiments do when you begin to see where they are leading. Something had happened in me that made it possible for me to co-ordinate and simplify... It had formerly been mixed up with other motives; but now that they were gone, I had my happiness unalloyed.”
