Quotation

I’m doing lots of preparation for the class I’ll be teaching.  The following passage is one of those I’ll be using on the first day to make clear to my students that “women” in “the South” is anything but simple in literature:

“. . . she emanated an outrageous and immune perversity like a blooded and contrary filly too young yet to be particularly valuable, though which in another year or so would be, and for which reason its raging and harried owner does not dare whip it.” —  William Faulkner, The Hamlet
