3 things about Stephen Roberts’ THE STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE [1933]

1. The judge removes a bottle of whiskey from his desk and pours two drinks, one for himself and one for his future son-in-law. During Prohibition.
2. Post-rape catatonia.
3. “Be proud of her. I am!”

A quotation from William Faulkner

I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

William Faulkner (1897-1962) American novelist
Speech (1950-12-10), Nobel Prize Banquet, Stockholm
