her face looked at the sky it was low so low that all smells and sounds of night seemed to have been crowded down like under a slack tent especially the honeysuckle it had got into my breathing it was on her face and throat like paint her blood pounded against my hand I was leaning on my other arm it began to jerk and jump and I had to pant to get any air at all out of that thick gray honeysuckle
yes I hate him I would die for him Ive already died for him I die for him over and over again every time this goes
when I lifted my hand I could still feel crisscrossed twigs and grass burning into the palm
--William Faulkner,
The Sound and the Fury
I read most of this novel while in Mississippi and I tell you there are no adequate words for how fucking awesomely kickass it was.
