I’ve re-read this book at least ten times because I take deep pleasure in savoring the poetry of literature that encapsulates a Black woman’s path to independence and self-liberation. This painting helped me to understand myself in the context of my dreams and desires. On the first page of her novel, Hurston scolds men who chased horizons. She found the notion of “chasing” absurd and foolish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eOn the last page of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eTheir Eyes Were Watching God\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e, Hurston reassesses the theme of the horizon.
