These stories are told in the words of Calliope
Marsh1. Wherever I have myself
intruded2 a word, it is with apology to her. I chronicle her stories as faithfully as I am able, faults and all, and, through her, the affairs of the village, reflecting in its small pool the people and the stars.
And always I hear most clearly as her conclusion:
"Life is something other than that which we believe it to be."
Portage, Wisconsin, 1919.
