1: Home from Home
' A strange word. Home. Say it one way—just ' home —and it is the warmest syllable in the language; deep as a hearthrug, satisfying as dinner, assured as love. But one letter, call it 'a home' and, in imagination, immediately, all the deepness and warmth are gone, as though a big door had been opened and a wind had howled in.'
