I've been struggling to comprehend this piece. Just when I think I may have some facet of it cornered, a new perspective jumps up. I was just wondering what some of you might think.
Also, is it true that piece was written about a time in his life when he went to town to sell eggs? so he could get food for his children and was denied? I read that somewhere.

That's what I figured it was about.
