- Summary:
- The connections and inter connections of past and present--the realization that life is a whole continuously echoing back to the past and unfolding toward the future--were sources of the strength, renewal, and joy celebrated in Trilogy and, in a differing, but no less real way, in The Gift. In recapturing her memories of being a very little girl in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and later on a country place outside Philadelphia, H.D. 'let the story tell itself or the child tell it. It is this voice or child's eye-view that lends The Gift its special charm as H.D. recreates the ordinary and extraordinary occasions of her early youth, the nightmares and delights.
