Thomas Clayton Wolfe:
(Asheville, North Carolina, 3 October 1900 – Baltimore, 15 September 1938).
American writer.
Wolfe studied at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later at Harvard University. From 1924 to 1929, he also taught American literature there, but gave that up to focus entirely on writing. Wolfe travelled to Europe on several occasions, including Berlin and Paris, and became acquainted with prominent writers such as Hemingway and Scott Fitzgerald.
All things on earth point home in old October; sailors to sea, travellers to walls and fences, hunters to field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds, the lover to the love he has forsaken.
Come up into the hills. O, my young love, return! O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost, come back again. As first, I knew you in the timeless valley where we shall feel ourselves anew, bedded on magic in the month of June.
