I decided to use the passage when Sethe is talking to Beloved about Sweet Home. This is in between Part 2 and Part 3.

“She needed the cover; I needed the breeze. Long
as those yellow curtains flapped, I was all right. Should have heeded her.
Maybe what sounded like shots really was. Maybe I would have seen somebody or
something.
Maybe. Anyhow I took my babies to the corn, Halle or no. Jesus. then I
heard that woman’s rattle. She said, Any more? I told her I didn’t know. She
said, I been here all night. Can’t wait. I tried to make her. She said, Can’t
do it. Come on. Hoo! Not a man around.
Boys scared. You asleep on my back. Denver sleep in my stomach.
Felt like I was split in two. I told her to take you all; I had to go
back. In case. She just looked at me. Said, Woman? Bit a piece of my tongue off
when they opened my back. It was hanging by a shred.
I didn’t mean to. Clamped down on it, it come right off. I thought, Good
God, I’m going to eat myself up. They dug a hole for my stomach so as not to
hurt the baby. Denver don’t like for me to talk about it. She hates anything
about Sweet Home except how she was born. But you was there and even if you tooyoung to memory it, I can tell it to you. The grape arbor. You memory that? I
ran so fast. Flies beat me to you.”
