Of Time and the River · 1935
America…. It is a fabulous country, the only fabulous country; it is the only place where miracles not only happen, but where they happen all the time.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker praises America in sweeping terms, calling its wonders both unique and constant. Miracles stop sounding rare and become part of everyday life. The repeated insistence gives the passage its excited force, expressing an enormous claim about the country rather than a measured comparison.
