William Faulkner
“Then the town was sorry with being glad, as people sometimes are sorry for those whom they have at last forced to do as they wanted them to.”
William Faulkner, Light in August

William Faulkner
“. . .in August in Mississippi there’s a few days somewhere about the middle of the month when suddenly there’s a foretaste of fall, it’s cool, there’s a lambence, a soft, a luminous quality to the light, as though it came not from just today but from back in the old classic times. It might have fauns and satyrs and the gods and---from Greece, from Olympus in it somewhere. It lasts just for a day or two, then it’s gone. . .the title reminded me of that time, of a luminosity older than our Christian civilization.”
William Faulkner, Light in August

William Faulkner
“Está oscuro. Oigo el bosque, el silencio: los conozco bien. Pero ningún sonido vivo; ni siquiera a él. Era como si la oscuridad lo sacara de su integridad convirtiéndose en una dispersión inconexa de elementos: mucosidades y pataleos, olor a carne tibia y pelo apestando a amoniaco; una ilusión de un conjunto coordinado de piel con manchas y huesos poderosos dentro de la cual, disperso y secreto y familiar, hay un ser diferente de mi ser. Le veo disolverse ―las patas, un ojo muy abierto, manchas alegres como llamas frías― y flotar en la oscuridad en solución que se desvanece; todo uno y sin embargo ninguno; todos los dos pero ninguno. Veo con el oído que se enrosca hacia él, le acaricia, le da su forma definitiva: cernejas, lomo, brazuelo y cabeza. Olor y sonido. No estoy asustado.”

“sometimes i lose faith in human nature for a time; i am assailed by doubt.”
William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying

William Faulkner
“I tell you, they were not men after spoils and glory; they were boys riding the sheer tremendous tidal wave of desperate living. Boys. Because this. This is beautiful. Listen. Try to see it. Here is that fine shape of eternal youth and virginal desire which makes heroes. That makes the doings of heroes border so close upon the unbelievable that it is no wonder that their doings must emerge now and then like gunflashes in the smoke, and that their very physical passing becomes rumor with a thousand faces before breath is out of them, lest paradoxical truth outrage itself.”
William Faulkner, Light in August
