Quote:
"All next day in the house and store she thought resisting thoughts about Tea Cake. She even ridiculed him in her mind and was a little ashamed of the association. But every hour or two the battle had to be fought all over again. She couldn't make him make him look just like any other man to her. He looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom--- a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God."
Pg. 106

(E) This seems like someone is in love. It's really cute how Janie can't get Tea Cake out of her head no matter how hard she tries. She's really feeling this guy; he must be good to her, better than Joe was. I also like how the author compares him to spring. It makes it seem like he's just that special; like he's a god. The author also explains that he smells extremely good. To me, this adds to my assumption that he's a god; it makes him seem like more of a god.
