Most of the quotes I’ve used are identified in the text. Additionally, on page xxiii, the quote from Carson McCullers is from “Look Homeward, Americans,” Vogue, December, 1940. On page 6, for information on the Occaneechi tribe, go to ncpedia.org/​occaneechi-indians. On page 10, the author of A Long, Long Way is Sebastian Barry. The quote on page 26 is from “God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins. On page 123, find more on Eudora Welty in More Conversations with Eudora Welty by Peggy Prenshaw. On page 33, the “Twice or thrice” quote is from John Donne’s “Air and Angels.” On page 151, see more information on the Wanderer at jekyllisland.c/​the-water-and-the-blood. On page 60, the William Faulkner quote is from Requiem for a Nun. On page 189, see When Women Ruled the World by Maureen Quilligan. On page 110, the quote is attributed to Santayana but probably is by Robert Lowell parodying Santayana.
