one of my favorite houses is gone --- built by some of my ancestors near lone oak in meriwether county before the civil war --- plantation-plain style, log joists, but beautiful hand-planed moldings, mantles, and doors --- my grandma grew up there after her father died when she was three years old --- i hadn't seen the house in ten years and when i went to look today, there was a big-ass horse barn on the site ---- boo hoo

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
