It's the subtitle to a play he wrote: "Stairs To The Roof".
It's a little-known fact that the playwright Tennessee Williams ... the author of "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" ... once worked in a shoe factory in St. Louis. The experience resulted in what was then called a "nervous breakdown." It also resulted in one of his earliest, and most easily forgotten, plays: "Stairs to the Roof". The most memorable part of the play is its subtitle. "A Prayer for the Wild of Heart That are Kept in Cages."
