Could you just imagine? If every suicide rose--think of Faulkner's Quentin Compson as a vampire. I don't hate the South I don't I don't.

Eugene F. WalterIn my South, the most treasured things passed down from generation to generation are the family recipes.
Robert St. JohnThough Anne was born in Alabama and schooled in Mississippi, she had traveled North, and, like many Southerners, gained a theoretical understanding of the concept of cold.
