...required course at Berea; during four years every student must work at least ten hours per week. There are standard courses also, from ABC's to A.B. and B.S. degrees. Visitors to classrooms are impressed with such imaginative hillbilly phrases as: "My home is way up the hollow where the valley snuggles in our little cabin," "I like to read what the goneby men have stored away in their lifetime," "a rage of anger," "the outdoingest feller," "the air from the falls keeps the flowers in motion all the time...

So many men of so many nationalities pass through her arms that she only thinks of them, like hurdling sheep, to keep insomnia away. The money in the hollow bed-leg rises coin by coin...
...peasant's arm. From the family attic he stole a mummified arm, scared a schoolboy into fits with it. Childhood came to an end when he was sent off to learn from a priest.
