Eudora Welty Quotes

He Was Surprised At The Way She Answered. She Had Taken A Long Time To Say That. She Had Nodded Her Head In A Deep Way Too. Had She Wished To Affect Him With Some Sort Of Premonition? He Wondered Unhappily. Or Was It Only That She Would Not Help Him, After All, By Talking With Him? For He Was Not Strong Enough To Receive The Impact Of Unfamiliar Things Without A Little Talk To Break Their Fall. He Had Lived A Month In Which Nothing Had Happened Except In His Head And His Body - An Almost Inaudible Life Of Heartbeats And Dreams That Came Back, A Life Of Fever And Privacy, A Delicate Life Which Had Left Him Weak To The Point Of - What? Of Begging. The Pulse In His Palm Leapt Like A Trout In A Brook.

("Death Of A Traveling Salesman")
