Flannery O'Connor Quotes

Mother!" He Cried. "Darling, Sweetheart, Wait!" Crumpling, She Fell To The Pavement. He Dashed Forward And Fell At Her Side, Crying, "Mamma, Mamma!" He Turned Her Over. Her Face Was Fiercely Distorted. One Eye, Large And Staring, Moved Slightly To The Left As If It Had Become Unmoored. The Other Remained Fixed On Him, Raked His Face Again, Found Nothing And Closed. "Wait Here, Wait Here!" He Cried And Jumped Up And Began To Run For Help Toward A Cluster Of Lights He Saw In The Distance Ahead Of Him. "Help, Help!" He Shouted, But His Voice Was Thin, Scarcely A Thread Of Sound. The Lights Drifted Farther Away The Faster He Ran And His Feet Moved Numbly As If They Carried Him Nowhere. The Tide Of Darkness Seemed To Sweep Him Back To Her, Postponing From Moment To Moment His Entry Into The World Of Guilt And Sorrow.
