William Faulkner Quotes
When I Was Fifteen, A Companion And I, On A Dare, Went Into The Mound One Day Just At Sunset. We Saw Some Of Those Indians For The First Time; We Got Directions From Them And Reached The Top Of The Mound Just As The Sun Set. We Had Camping Equiptment With Us, But We Made No Fire. We Didn't Even Make Down Our Beds. We Just Sat Side By Side On That Mound Until It Became Light Enough To Find Our Way Back To The Road. We Didn't Talk. When We Looked At Each Other In The Gray Dawn, Our Faces Were Gray, Too, Quiet, Very Grave. When We Reached Town Again, We Didn't Talk Either. We Just Parted And Went Home And Went To Bed. That's What We Thought, Felt, About The Mound. We Were Children, It Is True, Yet We Were Descendants Of People Who Read Books And Who Were, Or Should Have Been, Beyond Superstition And Impervious To Mindless Fear.
