"It was at the age of three that Thomas Lanier Williams, later better known as Tennessee, told his first scary story. As his mother recalls it: 'We used to go to North Carolina in the summer. The women folk would gather round the fireplace—it was cool there. We had no radios to entertain ourselves with, so we'd tell stories. Tom, who was quite shy, would hide behind my skirts listening. This one night we said, 'Tom, why don't you tell us a story?' We were sure he'd say no. And you know, that little cherub— he had golden ringlets and big blue eyes—launched forth with a story that went on and on. It was about alligators and the jungle and all sorts of animals. Suddenly he said, 'I can't go on further; it's getting scarier and scarier.' And closing his eyes up tight, he said: 'I'm getting scared myself.'”—“The Angel of the Odd," from TIME, March 9, 1962

Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827), the mystic, prophetic British poet, is represented by his poem "Love's Secret," which itself works as a prophetic text within Summer and Smoke, quietly signaling the play's denouement:
NEVER seek to tell thy love, | |
Love that never told can be; | |
For the gentle wind doth move | |
Silently, invisibly. | |
I told my love, I told my love, | 5 |
I told her all my heart, | |
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears. | |
Ah! she did depart! | |
Soon after she was gone from me, | |
A traveller came by, | 10 |
Silently, invisibly: | |
He took her with a sigh. |
