Tea Cake
Their Eyes Were Watching God
A colorful and lively soul, Tea Cake brings vibrancy into the life of Their Eyes Were Watching God’s heroine, Janie. The two meet when Janie is considerably older than Tea Cake, yet he teaches her a great deal about how to live her life openly and authentically. And though he meets a tragic end, his spirit continues to inspire Janie through the rest of her days.
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 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.
