Home is...

"Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserve; it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room..."

Harriet Beecher Stowe, quoted in Terry Teachout's excellent cultural blog. I recommend you go there, but only if you have at least 20 minutes to read backwards through various of his thoughtful, human, well-written posts.

Cheers, Terry!
