Comes Home I T WAS spring along the river road and I was going
home. The train rolled out of Goldsboro along the Atlantic Coast
Line. A few miles more a few minutes more. I leaned forward to
watch the sun coming up out of the Carolina fields. Farmhouses
clusters of Negro shacks a country church familiar landmarks.. A
wagon drawn up at a crossing for us to pass. Souther lands Springs.
The patch of woods this side of West brooks farm, dotted white with
dogwood this time of year, and the peach orchards at Brogdens in
blossom. Seasons trouping theatrical circuits and long nights in
Tobacco Road and Of Mice and Men, I had imagined myself riding home
on the morning train like this. Two nights before, I had left a
darkened stage door and walked over to the heart of Times Square
and sat down at Father Duffys feet to survey Broadway with a
homesick eye. Douglas Leighs neon roses climbed like rockets to the
sky, but my spirits were earthbound. Soft-coal cinders lodged under
myeyelids and scratched them red and blew away in the March wind.
