James Agee Quotes

A Strong Back Is A Big Help But Not Even The Strongest Back Was Built For That Treatment, And There Combine Not Just At The Kidneys, Ad Rill Down The Thighs And Up The Spine And Athwart The Shoulders, The Ticklish Weakness Of Gruel Or Water, And An Aching That Increases In Geometric Progression, And At Length, In The Small Of The Spine, A Literal Sensation Of Yielding, Buckling, Splintering, And Breakage: And All Of This, Even Though The Mercy Of Nature Has Strengthened And Hardened Your Flesh And Anesthetized Your Nerves And Your Powers Of Reflection And Imagination, Reaches In Time The Brain And The More Mirrorlike Nerves, And Thereby Makes Itself Much Worse Than Before.
