South Lowell

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or lowell:

“Whenever I’m asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

“Not a softness anywhere about me,
Only whalebone and brocade.”
—Amy Lowell (1874–1925)
