[The Sound and the Fury] was the one that I anguished the most over, that I worked at, that even when I knew I couldn't bring it off, I still worked at it. It's like the parents feel toward the unfortunate child, maybe. The others have been easier to write than that, and in ways are better books than that, but I don't have the feeling toward any of them that I do toward that one, because that was the most gallant, the most magnificent failure.-- William Faulkner, University of Virginia, 1958 --
Have a great Thursday!
