The writer—like the musician or painter—must be free to explore探測；勘查; otherwise否則，不然 she or he will never discover what is needed to be known.

This means, very often, finding oneself considered “unacceptable不能接受（或同意、允許）” by masses of people who think the writer’s obligation義務；責任；職責 is to second the masses’ motions移動, 動；運動  whatever they are.

Yet the gift of a writer’s loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one’s people that has not previously been taken into account.

Jean Toomer was, I think, a lonely, wandering man,  accustomed習慣的；適應 to being misunderstood—and yet, Cane is a great reward報答；報償；酬謝; though Toomer himself probably never realized it.

The same is true of Zora Neale Hurston. It is interesting to contemplate what would have been the result and impact on black women—since 1937—if they had read and taken to heart Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Would they still be as dependent on material things—fine cars, furs, big houses, pots and jars of face creams—as they are today?

Or would they, learning from the main character of the book that materialism錢, 實利主義，物質主義, 物質 is the dragrope拖網 of the soul, have become women immune to the accumulation積累；積聚 of things, and aware意識到的；明白 that love, fulfilment所做的事, 完成；實現 as women, peace of mind, should logically 論理上;邏輯上 come before, not after, selling one’s soul for a golden stool on which to sit. Sit and be bored感到無聊.
