Chrys:

As i(t) lay dying, I picked it up and ran with it. That was the first "grownup" book I read, at age 12. A line like "My mother is a fish" just sticks in your mind.

You've stumped me with the Valentine's Day connection, though.

I could just remember how my father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time. ...I gave Anse Dewey Dell to negative Jewel. Then I gave him Vardaman to replace the child I had robbed him of. And now he has three children that are his and not mine. And then I could get ready to die.

That's why an old german saying says:

Pat,

It is amazing how long that went on. I expected it to die on the table...great save.

Try drinking a quart of bourbon. There's a lot of nourishment in a bushel of corn, ya know.

And I saw something Dewey Dell told me not to tell nobody. It is not about Pa and it is not about Cash and it is not about Jewel and it is not about Dewey Dell and it is not about me.

Is anybody supposed to understand this?
Or should I just smoke some weed and then find out it's real funny and giggle for hours? ;-)

I stand corrected. Jewel's mother IS a horse. The value of which Darl tried to burn up. He went crazy. He went crazy and went to Jackson both. Lots of people didn't go crazy.

No, Jewel's mother is a fish. Her name is Addie. But Pa is not Jewel's father. And the mules drown.

Jewel's mother is a horse. My mother is a fish. That is not my mother. My mother doesn't smell like that.

Jewel knows he is, because he does not know that he does not know whether he is or not. He cannot empty himself for sleep because he is not what he is and he is what he is not.

If your mother is a fish then don't stick her in a barrel or Bob might shoot her.
