" "

How do our lives ravel out
into the no-wind, no-sound,
the weary gestures wearily recapitulant:
echoes of old compulsions with no-hand on no-string:
in sunset we fall into furious attitudes,
dead gestures of dolls.

Additional quotes by William Faulkner

Mi padre decía que un hombre es la suma de sus desgracias. Se puede creer que la desgracia acabará cansándose algún día, pero entonces tu desgracia es el tiempo dijo mi Padre. Una gaviota atrapada por un hilo invisible arrastrada por el espacio. Hacia la eternidad arrastras el símbolo de tu frustración. Entonces las alas son más grandes dijo Padre pero quién sabe tocar el arpa.
