And the green mountains round,
And thought that when I came to lie

The sexton's hand, my grave to make,
The rich, green mountain-turf should break. — William C. Bryant

I would be annoyed if I were any more in tune with modern sensibilities. I was shaped differently. The world in which I grew up was Texan and Southern, and it had many, many failings.
