"Indeed, learning to write may be part of learning to read. For all I know, writing comes out of a superior devotion to reading.“
Eudora Welty

"Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists."
✒️ #EudoraWelty was #BOTD 13 April 1909. #Literature
Hey, I have a new essay up at Chapter 16, the Humanities Tennessee literary site. It's about how writing is hard work and writers' offices are shrines to the struggle. #williamfaulkner #rowanoak #eudorawelty #writing

Image made by a human being without the use of AI. Image of an open book with a sprig of baby's breath flowers lying atop it. In the open pages of the book is written some text in a handwriting-style font. Text is a quote from Eudora Welty's novel Delta Wedding, published in 1946. It reads: "She imagined that one day—maybe the next, in the Fairchild house—she would know the answer to the heart’s pull, just as it would come to her in school why the apple was pulled down on Newton’s head, and that it was the way for girls in the world that they should be put off, put off, put off—and told a little later; but told...surely?"

Image made by a human being without the use of AI. Image of an open book with a sprig of baby's breath flowers lying atop it. A handwriting style font. Text is a quote from Eudora Welty's novel Delta Wedding. It reads: "She would walk on the clear night—angels, though, did that—tread it with love not this lonely, never this lonely, for under her foot would offer the roof, the chimney, the window of her husband, the solid house. Draw me in, she whispered, draw me in—open the window like my window, I am still only looking in where it is dark."

Text is a quote from Eudora Welty's novel Delta Wedding. It reads: "It was funny how sometimes you wanted to be in a circle and then you wanted out of it in a rush. Sometimes the circle was for you, sometimes against you. Sometimes in the circle you longed for the lone outsider to come in – sometimes you couldn’t wait to close her out. It was never a good circle unless you were in it, catching hands, and knowing the song. A circle was ugly without you."

Image of an open book with a sprig of baby's breath flowers lying atop it. A handwriting style font. Text is a quote from Eudora Welty's novel Delta Wedding. It reads: "...she had come to where everything was dressy, splendid, and over her head. Demonically she tried to be part of it – she took a breath and whirled, went ahead of herself everywhere, then she would fall down a humiliated little girl whose grief people never seemed to remember. Insistently a little messenger or reminder of death, Laura self-consciously struck her pose again and again, but she was a child too familiar, too like all her cousins, too much one of them (as they all were to one another a part of their very own continuousness at times) ever to get the attention she begged for."
