Some of the machinery would be left
new pieces could always be bought
on the installment plan
gaunt staring motionless
wheels rising from mounds of brick rubble
ragged weeds with a quality
profoundly astonishing
gutted boilers lifting
their rusting bodies
unsmoking stacks
an air of stubborn
baffled and bemused
upon a stumppocked scene of
profound and peaceful desolation
unplowed untilled
gutting slowly into red
choked ravines
beneath the long quiet rain of autumn
the galloping fury of vernal equinoxes
long sentence of William Faulkner made into poem
from chapter one of Light in August
Profound that this one sentence held a whole description of
what was occurring in his times.
Faulkner’s world record of longest sentence in literature has
now been surpassed.
