Inscriptions and Marks Signed: l.r. in blue ink (ball point): SMC inscription: Printed quote reads: BREAD PEACHE / Mama, sell me to Dona Julita because she has delicious food. Carolina Maria de Jesus At noon when the sun burns most hotly the entire town begins to be redolent of pine and warm bread. The whole town opens its mouth. It is like one great mouth which is eating one great loaf of bread. Bread intrudes into everything. Jimenez / For us Christ became bread the only real thing is hunger fish wheat figs vineyards flour leaven living water bread wine corn wine in sacks marriage feasts and banquets / Unfortunately many Americans live on the outskirts of hope— some because of their poverty, and some because of their color, and all too many because of both. Our task is to help replace their despair with opportunity.
