“I think those Southern writers [William Faulkner, Carson McCullers] have analyzed very carefully the buildup in the South of a special consciousness brought about by the self- condemnation resulting from slavery, the humiliation following the War Between the States and the hope, sometimes expressed timidly, for redemption.”

“The sire then shook the honors of his head,
And from his brows damps of oblivion shed
Full on the filial dullness:”
