Mississippi still damns
Tennessee Williams
For, while he was a native son,
He played their sins out, one by one.

From The Days Before, by Katherine Anne Porter

GRANDMOTHER

"The long difficulties of her life she regarded as temporary, an unnatural interruption to her normal fate, which required firmness, a good deal of will-power and energy and the proper aim to re-establish finally once more.  That no such change took place during her long life did not disturb her theory."

From Portrait: Old South
