He was indeed. I need to reread some of his novels, I do.

When I was at Ole Miss, this phrase was inscribed on the wall in the library foyer... I think... "I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail."

At least, I remember seeing it quite often and thinking that Faulkner was a righteous dudelisk.

Thanks reesetee, I've never read this, and feel much better for having just done so.
